Huge problem with transfering into a new chapter...HELP!!

Giggles, exactly when did you get initiated?

ETA: I can see it in the first post. Sorry.

It was in April. School probably got out in May or June and started again in August. While I'm pretty sure that the local chapter president should have taken care of the paperwork immediately after the ceremony, I think we're still within a reasonable about of time for the GLO to be processing stuff. It's baffling that they'd have no records, as I think DBB noted, at HQ, but this attitude that the organization is grievously remiss might not be quite as apt as some of you think.

It might be interesting to know what the typical turn around for this kind of paperwork is.

All right, well now that the chapter on your campus has your paperwork, like others have said - be patient - they will contact you. And after that happens you're going to have to be patient some more.
When I was an undergrad we had two members transfer into the chapter and one of them took a few months from the time that she first contacted us, through chapter approval and affiliation the other one took almost a semester and a half.
Depending on the chapter approval process you might basically feel like you're going through recruitment all over again, as the members will want to have the opportunity to get to know you. Affiliation is not a 100% process. You could decide after you meet the women of your new chapter that they aren't what you'd hope for and decide to explore other options (not NPC chapters) just like they could choose not to affiliate you - but you'll always be a member.
