I'm not in a sorority so if what I'm about to say makes no sense or is irrelevant please correct me. Fraternity rush is quite different obviously. But to me, as an outsider, it seems like:
a) This isn't really a widespread problem, I can't imagine a chapter would make several members check up on all the random transfer PNMs (particularly at a large school) when there is so much else to do at rush for the almost non-existant chance that somebody is trying to pull this off.
b) I would think that the girls currently rushing would be able to catch it...I know that at my campus, which is a competitive campus not in the South, girls pretty much stalk the PNMs going through rush as soon as they get their applications doing everything from reading their Facebook walls and profiles to see if there are "problems" (ie slutty comments or drug references) and doing "pre-rankings" based on academics, involvement, talents, etc. If a girl is transfering they try to find out how she carried herself at that former school. (They shouldn't have really told me all that to be sure but it gets out). I would think that if a girl was initiated before at another school a simple Facebook search or word-of-mouth would reveal it, but then again maybe I'm wrong.
