After following my daughter's recruitment thread, I had two mothers pm me to say they were transferring to other less competitive universities in terms of sorority recruitment just so their daughters could receive a bid to a national sorority.
In each case, the daughters pulled out of recruitment activities before preference day, apparently because they were released by their favorites along the way. I sypathized with them to some degree, but I guess sorority participation means quite a bit to those particular young ladies.
If you were a competetive varsity athlete, for example, you might transfer solely for the reason that you were not getting adequate playing time, didn't like the coach, the teams was not competetive, etc.
Who is to say that being a sorority sister is any less important to a young college freshman? If she transfers, gets a bid to XYZ, then resumes studies at her previous university, it also seems fair that she has to be examined for acceptance by the gaining sorority. I think its quite true that she may take a spot from an original pnm simply by her voluntary transfers between schools.
Just a thought from an innocent bystander....
