no no thtast not what I am saying....

I just dont think its exactly fair. The point is that I never want to leave my sorority, so i've been trying to find a school that has mine. They've all ended up being little schools in the middle of nowhere, which is what I am trying to get away from. I cant see going to a new school and not being in one. so everywhere i look it HAS to have my sorority. With all the requirements that I want for the new school that i transfer to, my schools to choose from are narrowed down.
its extremely fusterating..im sure a lot of u can relate to something like that.
which is why i think it should be ok to join another one. you dont betray your other sisters from ur previous school at all..and i would never do that. point is that if someone were to go to another school that didnt have their sorority their previous sisters shouldn't feel that they have been betrayed, they should understand that their "sister" felt that the school which they were at wasnt right for them, so they needed to transfer. With that said, they girl would still want to feel part of group or a sorority. so it should be fine that they go ahead and join another one.
what I am saying is that people shouldnt have to feel that they need to go to those great lengths. it just seems like it would make things soo much easier.

Personally, I think if you aren't willing to "go to great lengths" for your sorority, you don't deserve the sisterhood. Sorry to be blunt but this isn't the Chess Club we're talking about. You made a commitment for life when you were initiated.

Why can't you just chose a school based on academics and join the local Alumnae Association of your sorority? You're going to college for an education, right? No matter where you go there will other organizations to get involved with.

I'm sorry NPC hasn't made this "easy" for you. Life's difficult. Get used to it.

There are HUNDREDS of groups to join at larger schools. I'm sure you'd be able to find at least one where you could find people with similar interests and make friends.

You definitely should not choose your new school based on whether it has a chapter of your sorority --- you could end up not even getting along with members of this new chapter and be miserable there. Remember that chapters vary from school to school.

You should choose your new school for the same reasons many people choose colleges: location, size, academics, student-to-teacher ratio, campus life, etc. Then you can decide which clubs to join or where to go to meet new people. Maybe it'll have a chapter of your sorority that you click with and like, maybe it won't and you can join a different club.

what i meant by big school is...schools that have over 10,000 students in them

i come from a school with just under 4,000 with only leaving 1,000 students on campus. everyone goes home on the weekend and there is absolutely NOTHING to do! like i would like to go to University of delaware, Florida State, University of South Carolina,but they dont have my sorority so i cant go there.

Are your grades good enough to transfer? That's the first thing I'd consider.

I think it should be allowed just as long as you really dont tell other people you were once part of another sorority or talk about the other sorority in general.

I am trying to transfer to a new school, but unfortunatly (with out knowning) my sorority doesnt like to colonize chapters at BIG schools which is what i am aimin to transfer to. So now basically, i have VERY limited choices of where i can transfer to and its down right not fair. I love being in a sorority, and i would never want to leave one, but i think its gay that i now cant join a new one. I was actually just thinking of not telling anyone and just go through rush again.

and if people in ur sorority are going to disown you because u went to a new one, then they are very low people, and they dont qualify as a true friend.

ok i vented my fustration

I think that ANY sorority would be blessed to have you "join"! Not to mention, any university! You seem to be a solid, honest, and loyal young woman, and have AMAZING grammar and spelling skills.

You sure sound like a winner to me!

Um, WoW! How disgraceful that you would consider betraying your organization like that.

Seriously, refer back to your membership manual, ask your VP-Rit if you can see the rit book.....seriously, girl. Remember the vows you took.

MEMBERSHIP IN A SORORITY, FRATERNITY, SERVICE ORG, WHATEVER GREEK ORG IS FOR LIFE. Not until you need to transfer and your org isn't there.

I'm sorry that you think the rule is 'gay'. I pitty the org that took you.

I don't know if you're at JMU now, but there's a Sigma chapter there. There are also some wonderful schools in NC with Sigma chapters. All have communications programs.

actually its crazy, i would transfer to JMU my best friend goes there and loves it, and i met a girl there in sigma, but they unfortuantly dont have my concentration for communcications. they have news writing and journalism, which isnt my concentration

i ultimatly want to go to a school NC, but i didnt take 4 yrs of math in HS, so that has screwed me all up. i could only go in the spring

Note: anyone who plans to transfer to a school in NC who didnt take 4 yrs of math in HS you must take before applying: 6 hrs in a social science, language, math, english, and science.
