Y'all, it is REALLY REALLY HARD to be a transfer student. If you haven't been one, you probably can't even begin to understand how much it sucks. The girls who double initiate aren't saying "Oh, I'm going to screw Gamma Phi over and become a DG," they are girls who miss their sisters and miss the social life and structure.
It's really easy to criticize something you don't understand.

Well, I do understand and I DO critize those that try it! I had to transfer after only 2 years in my organization because of my degree. Yes, it was hard to leave my sisters, and I loved my university. Give me a break----whether you hear it in your new member program or at the begining of recruitment----everyone knows you just can't go from group to group to join up at will!
That didn't keep me from making friends at the new place or getting involved in other organizations----it was just different.
I hadn't ever heard of "social affliliation" before either-----and I doubt many groups do it. You can still do things with members of other groups without having an official name. And I ,ALWAYS wanted everyone at my new school to know that I belonged to my sorority even though there wasn't a chapter on campus---I was proud to be a member.
