Gotcha. Yea, if you were initiated at Uni#1, and transferred to Uni#2 that didn't have your GLO, I'm pretty sure most all NPC sororities would make you alum.

However, I could be wrong on this, and it may vary from GLO to GLO, I don't know if the alum status can be "reversed" if you transfer to Uni#3 and that school has your GLO.

That might be something to ask your Exec Board or HQ of your GLO.

One of my daughters transferred to a school that had a chapter of her sorority. She didn't want to affiliate because she was in such a time-intensive major and assumed she'd be considered an alum. She was told, though, that she wouldn't be until the class she'd pledged with had graduated; that was 2 years later.

For Kappa, if an undergraduate member transfers to a campus without a Kappa chapter, she is considered an Associate member, not an alumna. If she then decides to transfer again to a campus that does have a Kappa chapter, I believe she is able to affiliate and become an active member of that chapter.

Members don't become alumna (whether they are active or Associate members) until they either graduate, leave school completely, or finish their fourth year of school.

Question...although I understand if you can't say or just don't know...if a member drops out of school after initiating Kappa, is she still an associate member, or is she an Alum?

Sorry, I edited my post to reflect this; if she leaves school completely prior to graduation she is considered an alumna.
