I want to throw out that I love Delta Gamma; it may be my second favorite group. Two of my cousins were Delta Gamma and several of my friends and favorite co-workers. I didn't want anyone to think I was being critical of Delta Gamma.
I suspect almost all NPC chapters vote on affiliate members. I don't have any problem with reviewing individuals in case there are "standards" issues. But in general, I personally think you ought to take sisters from your national group unless there is really a problem.
And since, as far as I know, affiliates don't "count" toward quota and chapters can exceed chapter total in accepting them them, they aren't really taking anyone else's spot. (Think this through with me. Imagine you do one big formal rush in the fall: your chapter gets quota every year, wouldn't it be at or over chapter total? You wouldn't be COBing. The only additional new members you would get would be would be through affiliation. How could it hurt? Additionally, imagine a chapter that doesn't make quota. They COB every year. Would they be harmed by an affiliate taking them one person closer to chapter total?)
Okay, I admit I think you'd have to be nuts to pick your college based the chances of pledging a particular group, but I also wonder how someone who loves the group that much could be a bad member. If you love ABC enough to spend a year at Backwater U, you probably aren't going to be a member in name only.
Liltrixx, sorry for highjacking your thread. You've always seemed pretty level-headed to me, and I never got the feeling that you wanted anything other than to join a nice group at your present college. Good luck and I hope things work out like you want them to.
