I need a little advise...

This was back in the dark ages, but I transferred and affiliated at another Gamma Phi Beta chapter. I wrote to the Chapter President and House Manager the spring before, and made arrangements to live in the house that upcoming fall. I think they gave me some privileges I really shouldn't have had, but they were very welcoming. I participated in recruitment, chapter meetings (but couldn't vote), etc. The chapter voted on my affiliation, which was approved by IH, and I went through the official affiliation ceremony that winter. It was a surprise, and it is one of my best Gamma Phi Beta memories. At that point, I was an official member of the chapter and could vote. I blended right into my new chapter and served on exec. the next year. I loved both my chapters, and I keep in touch with sisters from both groups. We had another member affiliate from a different chapter the year after me. I would strongly encourage you to look into it.
