It just so happens that the college I want to transfer to is a major rival of my current one though, so I was wondering if y'all could give me your opinions...

-Do you know if there are any requirements or processes to join your sorority at a different school?

-Since the schools are rivals and I'm a transfer, will the sorority at the other college accept me as a valid member of their chapter?

-Do you think that the other college will be mean about the fact that I tranferred from their rival school?

-Will I make friends in the sorority at the new college even though I'm transferring mid year?

-Will my sorority sisters at my current college hate me because I'm transferring to the rival school?


**Any answers to these questions or even just your comments on the situation will help me a ton!**

We can't really say how another chapter is going to feel about you.

Something to think about though:

Be sure that you KNOW the transfer policies of that chapter you're trying to join.

There are some members who think that they are automatically accepted to another chapter when they move there.

Depending on your sorority and chapter, this is not the case.

There have been girls who ended up having to become alumnae of their sorority as freshmen and sophomores because they were not accepted by a new chapter (for whatever reason).

I know that there are some chapters at larger schools who do not accept transfers because so many girls attempt to transfer in all the time.

So be sure you are up to date on the chapter and national policies.

I'd suggest contacting the chapter WELL before you plan on changing schools.

Also, consider the fact that every school is different and the chapter at your new school may be nothing like the one you are leaving.
