BUT, I don't know anything about your campus and local orgs and related rules governing pledging others might be common knowledge there. It is not anything you have to hide, but as Violetpretty said, it doesn't need to be the first thing out of your mouth.

If an active were confused about whether she is eligible, the question would most likely go to the chapter's membership advisor, who should know that the OP is eligible for membership in an NPC sorority.

True, but you know that sometimes there is talk going on before the info ever gets to an advisor. She might be cut (in the active's mind) before they even vote. I don't know where she is transferring or the type of recruitment she will experience. This of course, has bearing on how this info is handled, but I could easily see that info being discussed and dismissed without asking an advisor.
