Transfers

Poster Message:
This is just my opinion! It is much harder on transfers! First of all, we start looking at incoming freshmen in November. We start making our lists and putting together our slide shows in March. We aren't necessarily "on the lookout" for transfers. By the time we hear about you, it's too late. If you have friends in our house, or chapter alumni who are pulling for you, your experiences will be different, as they would have told us about you earlier. Our pledge classes are referred to as the "freshmen" class. Most are living in the dorms. In my sorority, the "sophomore" pledge class is expected to live together as a pledge class as well. As a transfer, you will always be out of place in your pledge class. (You will be a sophomore in the "freshman" pledge class, etc.) With Alpha Pi colonizing, they will NEED upperclassmen to take over some of the leadership roles the freshmen are not ready to take on. We know this, and will use this as an excuse as to why we should drop you. (I'm just saying..) Also, our nationals want us to bid girls who will be dues paying members for four years! This is why some sororities are so heavy with Mississippi girls, they are more likely to stick around all four years. (nothing makes our alumni madder than when somebody from OOS transfers to her home state after a year.) In my experience, when ADPi colonized, more transfer students were cut. Last year, more transfer students received bids. You do the math.
