Hi kinz1972!
sometimes, transferring means you get the education you're seeking (like a better program for your major) but you have to give up something (like your sorority membership). I've read about how some schools have organizations for "unaffiliated Greeks"; others who are in your situation. Maybe your new school will have something like that.
Also, you might reach out to the alumnae group in your area at your new school. Yeah, we'll all be a LOT older than you, but we'll fuss over you and be really excited to meet you. We might even adopt you and you'll get snacks and stuff and all that. Honest. Some of us get giddy when we can fuss over actives. Yeah, that would be me.
Another consideration: sometimes people transfer and the chapter at their new school is a horrible fit for them. Yeah, it happens. Chapters aren't cookie-cutter, despite what our headquarters likes to tell us ("we are all blah blah blahs"). I'm being truthful. I would no more have fit in at a Theta chapter a hundred miles from mine than I would have fit in at an engineering conference at MIT! BUT, as an alum, I do feel a strong sisterhood bond with other Thetas from all over (including MIT Thetas).
TL/DR: message is that I hope you'll find some useful ideas and you'll stick around and make connections. Many of my closest friends are Greek alumnae, who wear letters different from mine.
