Rejected by My Sorority

It's also possible that if the transfer was between 2 vastly different schools - say, Yale to LSU or vice versa - she might not have felt comfortable or been accepted in ANY sorority, not just her own.

As I said, as much as it stings, I think I'd rather have a chapter lay their cards on the table and say "NOKD" rather than be accepted on paper only and not in practice.

That's possible, though it does seem as if having already been selected to join a sisterhood in a process where selection favors the GLO, that the weight of this decision should fall more so to the transferring member.

True enough -- it may even be that affiliating (in practice) on a campus where you have no previous contacts is a little awkward in general.

So maybe ask if you can help? And then back off if they say "No."

I think this might be awkward for a college sophomore who feels the chapter has already said "no." And it may not be viewed favorably by the actives if perceived as an attempt to subvert their decision.
