We received a question from a parent wondering what happens if her daughter transfers schools during college and how this may affect her sorority membership.
Membership in a sorority is truly for a lifetime. Once you become a member of a Panhellenic sorority, that membership stays with you throughout college and your alumnae years. If your daughter transfers during college to another university that has a chapter from the same organization, the ability to join that chapter is available. Since membership is for a lifetime, NPC groups do not allow members to become initiates of more than one sorority. Instead, we encourage members who transfer to campuses without their organization to become involved with alumnae chapter activities in the area, where the members continue to make friendships, participate in community service, and grow as individuals.
Whether women join an alumnae group after graduation or upon a transfer during college, sorority membership connects women with alumnae from all walks of life. Networking opportunities, help in a career search or advice about a new city are just a few ways lifetime membership helps sorority women stay connected.
