Dropping out of sorority to go to another school for a year

[chi-o_cat]

If you have been initiated into an NPC sorority, you cannot join another. The first thing you should do is talk to one of your chapter officers or an advisor about your situation. Hopefully, what will happen is the year you are studying at the other university, it will be treated as if you are studying abroad or on an internship, and given some sort of inactive status. Then when you go back for your junior year, you will return to your sorority.

If the other university also has a chapter of your sorority, you could look into affiliating with them. Each organization has their own policy on this, so, again, officers/advisors would be your best bet.

In summary, assuming we are talking about NPC sororities here, NO, you are not going to go through recruitment an additional two more times in your college career. Even if you decide you like the other school better and decide to remain there for the last 2 years, you would become an alumna of the group where you have been initiated (or affiliated with the chapter there, if that is an option).

OP, this advice is spot on.

Not only that...

When people do stuff like this, it's usually to save some money and usually going to a smaller school near home. OP - if this is your situation, the Greek systems at ABC and XYZ are going to be very different and you may not even enjoy the system at XYZ. Not only that...if you're going to a school near home, most likely a handful of your high school classmates will be there, and you'll be MEGA busted.

I could be all wet,.but a lot of people around here do this to make a Penn State degree more affordable.
