all sororities are made up of diverse girls. The Delta Zeta Chapter where I attended college is probably a lot different than a chapter in California. Even if we don't want to admit it, lots of us joined our group because we liked what they stood for AND because we clicked with them (ie: nobody joins a group where they can't stand the people in it). Delta Zeta does have the option that you can either affiliate once you've transfered or obtain alumni status. However, to affiliate, you do have to be voted in by the chapter. I am not certian WHY they do this, but I think it's a good idea. This is why I BELIEVE they do it, but I'm not certain.
Firstly, when you don't know anyone and you are voted in, you have a hard time obtaining respect because they don't know you and because they don't know how you will react to certain issues or ideas they might have. It's a weird 'feel you out' situation because they didn't have that 'rush process' there to get to know you. Also, they aren't sure what type of chapter you came from. There are huge differences, look at the differences in rushing between the north, the south, the east and the west as an example. Secondly, what if you didn't have anything in common with any of these girls other than Delta Zeta? It might turn into a chore to attend meetings, you might not like personalities, you might not like the way they run the chapter, there are tons of examples. Even though it sucks, sometimes chapters fall along the wayside and don't do what they are supposed to do. You can also support delta zeta as an alumni and not have to go through these situations.
Anyway, just my 2 cents
