Rushing a Colony after Resigning from Local Sorority

It's not just incoming freshmen you have to worry about, it's the Greek and campus community in general. If your name is mud with those people, the freshmen will pick up their attitudes and follow suit. I admit the meth dealer was an extreme example, but my point was it's all about perception.

FWIW, I don't think it's OK for the women at carnation's old school to dump the local and pledge a national either. Personally, I'd be very wary of taking someone who is from a group (local, national, regional, professional or what have you) with a reputation of hazing, especially if she was an older member. AAG put across the only reasonable scenario I can think of, quite frankly - I was pledging, didn't know what I was getting into, and once I knew I got the eff out.

If freshmen hear the only reason XYZ and ABC think DEF sucks is because they took a girl like the OP, they might not give a shit. And on some campuses, it truly might not be that big of a deal, most especially if something similar has happened before. Basically, it may or may not be an issue, but there's no ONE answer since campus cultures can be so extremely different.
