In SAE, a member is automatically granted alumnus status whenever he ceases to be an active member of the chapter by which he was initiated, except in the event he transfers to another undergraduate school and affiliates with that chapter.

Where a transferred student is concerned, he is only eligible for the benefits of active membership in the new chapter provided he was in good standing at his prior chapter and presents the appropriate documentation, but is nevertheless under the jurisdiction of the new chapter immediately upon enrollment in the new campus. Other minor conditions apply, but that's the gist of it anyway. The affiliate would then become an alumnus upon graduation or otherwise leaving school.

That depends on whether or not you're initiated by the SC chapter prior to transferring. If you're initiated before leaving the first university, then you'll be an active member and will be eligible for transfer/affiliation to the UVA chapter. On the other hand, even if you complete your pledge process but you're not actually initiated before you transfer, you'll still be considered a pledge and may or may not be required to complete another pledge process at UVA prior to being initiated. In such a case, you'd be considered a regular member of the UVA chapter, as opposed to an affiliated member. PM me with any further questions you may have. In either case, good luck!

oh ok cool, yea thats what i meant assuming i was innitiated. That sounds like the norm with most fraternities, i was just hoping SAE didn't have some wierd way of doing it.

btw, nice on going through at the Alpha at alabama, i bet that was fun lol... i'm a GA boy so i got a lot of friends who went to bama and say they are pretty intense there
