I am out of the loop now as far as knowing if girls hop around & transfer, but I know back in the late 80's it did occur from time to time! In my high school in Alabama, if a large number of girls were say going to Alabama & competing for the "top tier" sororities, one or two might head to Auburn & pledge that same sorority & then transfer down the next year.

I always found it sort of amusing. This did not occur often. What many girls from the region of Alabama I am familiar with consider the "top 2" sororities at Alabama are not both considered(by these girls or their mama's) the "top 2" at Auburn (only 1 of them is) so this was done the few times I've seen it only with the one sorority where they deemed it worth transferring.

I know my username gives my affiliation away, but I must share another amusing point. There was a girl in my sorority & by her sophmore year she told everyone she was transferring to another large SEC school in Mississippi. Her reason: A blunt retort that there were just not enough available men at Alabama to pick from a potential hubby pool! The problem:the one chapter in my sorority in the nation that did not accept tranfers was this particular school in Miss. She had the rules bent completely for her & was accepted as a transfer only because an alum she befriended's mother happened to be our national president 23 years ago :-) By the way, she did marry & I believe she met him once she transferred. I guess persistence pays off!!!
