WOW!!! I have seen this happen many times and have even posted about it under my pre-new-GC board name (when I lost my password)!!!
I graduated from a midsize school in the south. Girls would pledge a sorority and then transfer to Ole Miss. Another example: XYZ was rather selective at my school, but not at Miss State. PNMs would pledge at State and then transfer to USM. I have been out of school for many years, but can only imagine this still happens. I know a young lady (not so young anymore) very well, her mother sent her to USM to pledge a sorority and then transfer to 'Bama. Her family was very well-to-do in Birmingham and her mother wanted to ensure that she received a bid from a sorority that was well respected at 'Bama and was concerned about her rushing at 'Bama. I know this sounds ludicrous, but it is true. I am sure it is not the norm, but it does happen.
I know our chapter votes on a member affiliating, after they have been with us for one semester.
