Just to use a random example, I'll use my house, Delta Zeta. So what she does is start her freshman year at XYZ University up north which does not have such a strong Greek system, pledge Delta Zeta, get initiated and then the next semester transfers to the southern school where she affiliates to the chapter she's wanted all along.
Have any of you ever heard of someone doing this? If I'm not mistaken, the new chapter would have to take a member in good standing (I think). I know it sounds like a lot of trouble, but I wondered if, given the level of competition, some women would actually do this?

Oh, it happens. It was a favorite approach of Texas people who knew their daughter would not get into certain GLO's at Texas schools even if they were double or triple legacies, so they literally sent their daughter to an out of state school where perhaps that chapter was not as overwhelmed with legacies or where the chapter was not as strong as it was at say UT or SMU, and the daughter gets pledged, initiated into Mother and Grandmother's sorority, stays a year and transfers back home. Averts social disaster back in the hometown, but
sometimes the daughter was more comfortable at her first school and chapter and decided to stay there.
I personally saw this happen more than once.
