My not-so-perfect rush story

No. Affiliates aren't considered for the numbers stuff at all, as far as I know, so it's not even that they "count" against you numerically.

I find this weird too; I'd like to think if you are good enough for the national organization, you're good enough to affiliate (if you are member in good standing and are of good character), but I can remember discussing in another thread that groups have really different policies from group to group and from chapter to chapter.

One chapter of one GLO that we talked about won't take any affiliates at all.

We had an AZD who transferred to Elon from another chapter and she blantantly told us that part of the reason she had transferred was because she hated her sorority and didn't want to have anything to do with us. We tried to get her to come to some events and at least give our chapter a try and she absolutely refused.

Later, we had a sister go to a conference and met a sister from the girl's initiation chapter and they had no idea that she hated the chapter because she had been very involved and they couldn't think of a reason for any falling out.

It was a little strange. Just thought I would share.

I haven't read the affiliation thread mentioned above but the entire topic can get very UGLY very quickly so it's best to be avoided. LoveinZTAs story is fine though b/c it's her experience, not a general statement.
