Hi! (transfer school, sorority chapter at new school?)

[mary1510]

I am a member of Zeta Tau Alpha. I wasn't accepted to the chapter in the current school i transfered to. I have now decided to transfer to Tulane in the spring because this situation has made me unhappy here.

Oh. Ok. Then you will definitely be an alumna. This has been a rather long day, sorry.

As I said in my bagged post - too many people in the past abused the whole transferring option and it's the people coming up now who have to bear the brunt of it. I know it sucks, but honestly, better to not be chosen to affiliate than to be in a chapter that's only taking you grudgingly and pay a mint for it. We ALL have chapters of our sororities where we might not have been accepted. It does seem to fly in the face of the concept of a national organization, but the plain truth is, you can't force sisterhood.

One of the girls picked was my roommie which makes this situation even more traumatic for me. i am so miserable that i want to withdraw from school. I feel so rejected. i dont feel like this is an example of sisterhood.
Who would i pay my dues to? What would i get out of paying dues? i am a Zeta without a home.

When one joins a sorority for the purposes of transferring to another school that has a chapter she wouldn't be able to get into under normal circumstances, it doesn't always work out the way she planned.

Are you seriously going to transfer again just because of a sorority? Would you even be eligible to affiliate at yet another school? Wouldn't you be on alumna status now because you were turned down for affiliation? Does Zeta allow you to go back to active? Those are things you'd better find out before you start chasing another dream.
