Hey, this is a great question! I just transferred this year and the school I transferred to luckily had a chapter of the sorority I am in! Like everyone else says it is different for each sorority. What I did was send an e-mail to the president of the chapter at my new school, it did take her a while to get back but it was during the summer and not everyone always checks their e-mail during the summer and she was on Co-Op so she was busy! So my point is don't be discouraged if the person you e-mail doesn't get back to you right away. However, if a significant amount of time has gone by then it is okay to send a nice e-mail just kinda re-introducing yourself and checking to see if they got the e-mail sometimes things happen and it might have gone to her spam box and got deleted or something who knows?! So after talking to the president I had to fill out a paper through national basically telling them when I was inducted my old chapter the chapter I was transferring to and basic information like that. It was a pretty simple process! Some things to keep in mind are, just because it is the same sorority doesn't mean the girls will be the same as the girls at your old school. I came from a smaller chapter into a much larger chapter and the girls are all very different but of course have all been pretty welcoming! I did get a few strange looks from girls who didnt know who I was but saw me wearing "their" letters on campus but as soon as I introduced myself and they realized I am a transfer they were all very welcoming! Another thing is the president at my new chapter offered for me to go through new member education again if I want (not forcing me to!) just so I can sort of learn how they as a chapter do things and learn their local history so that may be an option for you, if the president doesn't offer you can probably ask if that is something you are interested in doing. I hope this helps you out a little! Feel free to ask me any questions you have!
