Just a quick question about transfering schools...

ADPiBabe01 · #1 05-26-2003, 01:09 AM

Hello, guys and gals! I am currently a student at a Tennessee university and a member of ADPi... I believe that I am going to transfer schools at the end of next semester, whether in state or out of state, I don't know yet. I was just wandering how will that affect me being a sister. Will I automatically be a sister at the new school? if they don't have a chapter, what can I do. If there is a chapter will i have to re-rush? I am just curious about this, because this will probably have a big impact on my future. Thanks for the wisdom!!

We have an awesome ADPi chapter at MTSU!

I think that different schools and different sororities do it differently.

If there is no ADPi chapter at your new school, you will go alum, even though you're still in college.

If there is a chapter, there, you may be automatically affiliated there, or you may have to go through a semester-long probationary period where both you and the chapter decide whether or not you fit in there. I don't think that they usually decide not to let you stay though -- it's mostly just a formality, and they wouldn't turn one of their sisters down.

You won't have to re-rush.

Hey, I just saw your message, I am an ADPi at ETSU right now and I was possible either going to go to MTSU or FSU, Depends on the money situation...how is the MTSU atmosphere?

LOVE MTSU!!! It is a very open atmosphere, and anyone fits in here. If you make no effort to get to know people, you may never see the same person twice. There is such a diversity in the student body, and the professors, at least the ones I've had, are never too busy to talk to you or help you out. My AIM is ImABlueSeaShell if you want to chat! There are some other MTSUers on here as well. What's your major?

Hey, thanks for the info... I am in elementry education right now. I hate to seem all weird, but how is the "social" scene? Because up here all there is to do is go to Frat parties and Sorority parties... There is NOTHING else to do. I love it here, don't get me wrong, but it is def. a "come home on the weekend" type school. But I'd figure that MTSU is better, being so close to Nashville...

People go home alot, but there is alot to do. Yes, it does help that we're close to Nashville! It's fun up here. There's much more to do than just go to frat parties!

Edited to say - I'm in Elementary Ed as well! Most ADPi's here seem to be Elementary Ed, too. You'll love it - we have a great program.

THere's a few clubs here, although I'm not really into the club scene so I can't tell you much about them./ There's also alot to do on campus.

That really excites me!!! Because I will more than likely start up there my soph year spring semester. What is about the cost per year up there? What about first year costs? My lil sis starts college in a year!!!

As a transfer to another school where there is an ADPi chapter, you may opt to either go alum, or you may affiliate with that chapter. The chapter must vote to accept you as a transfer, and both your current chapter and your transfer chapter must send in paperwork to Executive Office. Once all of the paperwork is settled, you are a full delta member at this university, with all the rights of delta membership. An alpha member may not transfer membership.

If there is no ADPi chapter at the school you are transferring to, you automatically receive alumna status.

You've already heard about MTSU's chapter-- they sound great! All of the Florida chapters are very strong, too. Iota chapter at FSU has won Sorority of the Year every year since the award began (5 years in a row). If you opt not to affiliate, I recommend you go through the Jewel Degree ceremony and get involved with alumnae association life to help you get acclimated and make friends in your new town. ADPi is great to help you get settled in a new place!

PM me if you have any questions.
