There was a blogger last year who went to Lehigh, decided to transfer after first semester but stuck it out to go through recruitment that spring to see if joining a sorority changed her mind. She got initiated but still decided to transfer to Wisconsin. When she approached the Wisco chapter of APhi, they invited her to their events (there were a few other transfer APhis that year too) and they told her she could be voted on to join the chapter next semester (Spring 2018), while some other transfers were immediately voted on. She decided not to pursue initiating into the Wisco chapter because she felt it was unfair she had to wait while others did not. This is all publicly posted on her blog. We've all seen the posts floating around at different schools about how PNMs will pledge certain chapters just so they can transfer back to the better version of that chapter in their hometown. In fact, there was a girl on the Bama GR page only two years ago who said she was dead set on PKT and when she ended up in Theta, she knew she'd transfer back to Texas. Whether or not any of those concerns or rumors are true is impossible to know, but that's the real motivation behind not accepting transfers - you don't want a girl who only joined your chapter at one school just so they could transfer to a "better" chapter. THAT is someone not living up to the chapter's values. That being said, given how rare I think that situation is, I think it should be a fairly seamless process to initiate a transfer.
