I'm talking about face-to-face contact, stopping by the house and introducing yourself before transferring...actually meeting people. Alumnae and sisters from other chapters do this. This is a situation that calls for in-person interaction, which the OP admits. She met 2 sisters, but the rest of her contact seems to have been calls and/or emails to the chapter and nationals. And, it "escalated" to complaining to nationals, which probably led to a negative reaction from the chapter before the vote.

As sad as this is for the OP, I think there is a cautionary tale here for others who are interested in transferring/affiliating.

What Sciencewoman said. Chapters always need alumnae volunteers. You should volunteer to help behind the scenes with recruitment and philanthropy events. If alumnae are allowed to attend chapter, you should go to some chapter meetings. Tell people that you are available to help out.

If you contact the chapter advisory board, they can direct you to stuff that you can help with.

Good luck!

Bolded times a bazillion.

Yes, this sucks. But what would suck more is if they had "accepted" you into the chapter and you paid dues - and were treated the same way.
