Mandingo,
The NPC/NIC groups are the same - we are all members of our national group. However, when you initiate into a certain chapter you are considered 'affiliated' with that chapter. When an undergraduate transfers to another campus they have 2 options - obtain alumni status or affiliate with their chapter on that campus. Some groups will allow affiliation w/o any prerequisites, some groups have a voting type procedure that, if the chapter is in agreement, the transfer student 'becomes' a member of that chapter. This transfer person still is a member of the national as well.
Every chapter has different expectations of their members, hence, some chapters may not vote to incorporate a transfer student into their chapter. In that case, the transfer student is consider an alumna/alumnus and participates in the local alumni chapter(s).
