Happened to me. I was unable to affiliate with my chapter. Mainly because 4 girls I went to HS with (but hated in HS) didn't want me there and because I was from a struggling chapter so somehow I was going to "hurt" them. Totally lame reasons then and totally lame reasons now.

If I could have dropped out and rushed again, I probably would have.

I understand why the rules come about, but I also see the other side of the coin.

That just seems so sad to me. I remember had a transfer that wanted to affiliate with us and we all liked her well enough and invited her out to stuff but in the end I don't think she felt comfortable with us since we weren't her initiating chapter so she just stopped coming to stuff - not sure if she went alum or what... But I could truthfully say that any girl who came to me who was a Zeta anywhere else and wanted to be in my chapter I'd vote in - for the simple fact that she's a sister no matter what and there were some other sisters out there who wanted her in enough to initiate her so I should trust their judgment as sisters. But I'm only speaking for myself here... I'm sorry that happened to you and as sad as it is, I'm sure you're not the only one.

I can certainly see both sides of this argument but I firmly believe in one and one only when it comes to NPC. I can definitely see missing the sorority experience, hence me joining an alum group
