I accepted my bid from ADPi this past fall (2011) in late September, and ended up having to leave school suddenly for medical reasons right before I was able to initiate. I have made the decision to not return to the university I attended last fall, and am transferring to another school that also has an ADPi chapter. I truly would LOVE to stay a part of ADPi at my new school and join a new chapter of sisters, however I obviously need to decide if this new chapter is a good fit for me first, but I'm not sure how this whole process works. I know I have a contract with the sorority that I cannot go through recruitment for any other sorority for one calander year, however even if I chose to, my new school's recruitment is much earlier than my old school's was, so my year contract will not have expired.

I was curious if there was a certain way this situation is handled? I know initiated members can join chapters at other schools without much of an issue, but what about Alphas? I know this is a very rare circumstance, so I don't know who would know the answer to this, but I'm trying to figure out what to do!

Honestly, I do NOT intend on joining a sorority if this new ADPi chapter does not work out for me. I committed myself to ADPi when I accepted my bid and have no interest in trying to dedicate myself to any other sorority even if I could, not that I wouldnt love another sorority, its just that I wouldnt feel right doing that. I just don't know how to handle the process at all. I also do not know who to contact at my new school regarding this situation and am so confused!

If ANYONE can help me out, I'd be so thankful! Thank you!!

I cannot speak for ADPi and their ideas on this. As an initiated member of another NPC sorority, I admire your dedication to ADPi. It is wonderful to actually see someone make a decision and stick with it. With that in mind, I would like you to know that chapters and especially personalities can change vastly from school to school. If there are 150+ members this may not be as important, but please realize that because ADPi was amazing and a perfect fit at School 1, it may be a complete 180 degree at School 2. Please realize that although you accepted your bid, you are able to look at other chapters at your new school. There may be another chapter at your new school that fits you better.
