theta and transfers

by: Very unhappy NM

Does Theta accept transfers for affiliation? I am not going to ask family or friends that are actives/alumnae in PKT at UT because apparently they give awful advice, so I'm coming to ask here. Most of yall probably already know my story, and I talked to an amazing Texas Theta last night. Given my situation at UA, I think I'm going to stay until initiation and then transfer back to UT for the Spring. Does it matter that Theta is bottom tier at UA? They're all socially awkward and weird so I don't fit in there at all. I know I would fit in with the Thetas here. Please help!

If you couldn't get into a top house at Bama, you definitely won't be accepted as a transfer into Texas Theta.

Texas Theta does not have to affiliate you. They know all about the tactic to pledge PKT at weak chapter schools and don't accept transfers from bad chapters. You'll have to go alum as a freshman if you transfer.

So does the chapter vote to affiliate or not?

Well, from what I've heard, yes, the chapter votes on whether to accept a transfer for affiliation. But it's not my fault that I got stuck in a bottom tier chapter at UA. Read my story on UA's page . I was following family and friends advice to rank PKT so that when I moved back to Texas (was going to be after graduation but who knows now) I would be a shoo in for things like JL and other elite organizations. It's all about connections in Texas.

JL isn't really even a big thing anymore. It has lost its luster. Pretty much a working girls networking event, rather than a social deal.

I think you should take a deep breath and realize you are young and impulsive and things seem desperate right now but honestly... They aren't. You are being unfair to the group that chose you and you are forgetting that you will have the chance to build a sorority family of your own through future rush groups. Also, awkward and weird are underrated- maybe they pick up on your awkwardness and weirdness too. Transferring would be ridiculous. Commit to the sisterhood completely for a year and see what develops.

Also, not to be rude but pledging a sorority because it might help you get into junior league in austin later is ridiculous. You need to get some life experience- go to South America, protest some injustice, get really stoned and write bad poetry then post it on twitter. Get really into your studies and go to Harvard Law. Junior League is not an ambition, and neither is returning to the same place you know already to have all the same beliefs and assumptions you had as a teenager. Seriously - go find a new sorority sister of yours who is especially different from you and buy her a coffee. Find out her story.

Off topic, but I like you! Your post always worth reading. I'm guessing you are same 'oldwise' on UA GR as well. But thank you for trying to find the positive in all of this.

Yes, all of us (especially Pi Phis, Kappas, and Thetas-but everyone really) need to go read her little story on UA's page. This girl is completely out of control!!

Also I have relatives in JLH...non Greeks in college wohooo! There. Stop worrying and learn from this. It doesn't even matter if you're Greek really either (but your college party and friend experience really is a lot better with it). Still even better news yay!

Do you realize what you've done to your fellow PC members? How selfish of you to act this way. Were you not raised any better?

There will not be a Theta transfer from Alabama to our chapter in the next 4 years. Never. I will guarantee that. So you are SOL. We have sisters from different chapters all over the states, top tier, bottom tier, and in between. All are equal and loved the same. But what you said all over green rank is a slap in the face. Buh bye!
