But ultimately, we cannot turn a soror away who wants to transfer to our chapter and some chapters don't even see chapter hopping as an issue, no matter the reason.

yes that is what i was getting at. and i think NYC is a bit of an anomaly considering that everything is so close together that moving to the "next county over" isnt as drastic it would be anywhere else. So a move from Harlem to Flatbush ... or Tremont to Jamaica (for example) is what, 30-90 minutes on the subway, but really about 10-15 miles away - not nearly enough of a distance to up and switch chapters because of location. and no chapter is an island - we all support each other's events. i wouldn't say "oh, that's a MANHATTAN chapter event, pshaw, ill stick to Brooklyn events, thanks."
plus people move so often within the city that it would be a mess to transfer everytime you changed your area code. and if youre comfortable where you are, why leave? as long as you are making it to meetings and DOING YOUR SERVICE, its all good over here.
but that's my interpretation.
