Part of me wants to transfer to a school closer to home, but the other part of me keeps me thinking that I should stay down there just because it would just be messed up to transfer the year after I crossed.
Another reason why I might transfer is when I first came here I was told that they would have my major by my sophomore year and it looks like thats not going to happen, So i really don't have anything to major in here.
What do you guys think about this?

Deuce-
It sounds like you attend a relatively small school and I am thinking it is an HBCU.
I don't know what kind of major Aviation Management is--like aerospace engineering? So basically, if you pursued your major, what would your career be? Working at the airplane towers--the FAA stuff?
The reason I ask is sometimes you can be creative with your major, such as pursuing an engineering degree, but volunteering at the airport near the tower, the municipal airports may be more privy for that. Then, trying to get "Boeing Summer Internships" every year... Moreover, while you pursue that aspect, you need to be working with the "professional trade organizations" that support your career choice. Be very strategic in your choices.
I see little reason at this time to leave your school unless your issue is one of money. If you transfer closer to home, you will lose a year of credits and will have to pay for retaking classes. Most people think that one goes to college to get a better job. If that were the case, you can go to ITT or University of Phoenix for these degrees. But, you are there to educate yourself in a wholistic and well-rounded fashion. Getting that Bachelor's degree is a stepping stone. Pursuing a Master's, Doctorate or Professional Degree is when one generally and usually make judgements about programs.
So you first goal is your Bachelors. Then go to graduate school an become picky about your majors. It will not occur faster if you transfer.
As far as serving your Fraternity. Everyone who cares about you should understand your true goal. That's the good thing about Greeklife, we will be waiting for your return... It hurts when you leave, but sometimes in life, these things happen. However, you cannot be active unless you have the grades or graduate in the first place...
