Hi! Most chapter also have an affiliation fee that you'd need to pay...it's usually under $20 and it's noted in their Bylaws.
You need to have a Letter of Information sent from the Chapter Advisor and Chapter President of the chapter you're leaving stating that you're in Good Standing (up to date on all your financial obligations and you met the grade requirments). This letter goes to the new chapter CA plus a check from you for the affiliation fee. You need to meet the scholarship requirements of the new chapter. EC of the new chapter first must vote to approve your request to affiliate. The chapter then must approve your request by a 2/3 affirmative vote. Both votes are by secret ballot.
If the vote passes, then you get to go through an Affiliation Service to become a member of that chapter.
First thing you need to do is check out the chapter - stop by the house and let them know you're an Alpha Gam that's transferred to their campus. Ask to come to their events and chapter meetings. It's a chance for you to get to know them and likewise them to get to know you. Then you and they can make a good informed choice about how you fit into their chapter!
Good luck!
