I think the difference here is that, in my case (and that of my husband and most of my friends) "the script" WAS to pick a college for academic reasons. So the concept of "ZOMG I HAVE to be an AEPhi at LSU or I'll just DIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!" is foreign to me. (I'm picking on LSU because of its hugely competitive recruitment, and I'm picking on AEPhi because, well, I am one  and our chapter there is dormant.) I just don't get why anyone would transfer away from a school that has a strong program in their chosen field of study, JUST to join a particular GLO (even if you do then transfer back).
