random question
If you go to a UC, you are allowed to take a quarter or 2 (up to a year) at a different UC. you become considered as a full-time (or part-time) UC whatever student and then are allowed to come back to your former UC school after that period. Are you allowed to pledge greek during that time?

HUH?
Most, if not all, NPC groups require you to be a full-time student. If you pledge a group, but will not be on campus during the new member period, it is my opinion that you should wait until you are back on campus full-time.
If you are asking if you can pledge at another campus, then transfer back to your original campus, I guess the answer is yes but there is no guarantee that you will be able to affiliate with your chapter on that campus (if there even is a chapter).

I've only ever heard of people going on the UCDC program for a quarter, not to any other UC. Why would you or anyone else want to join a sorority or fraternity for less than a year and then transfer back to your own school. If you want to go greek, do so at your "home" school.

If you are enrolled full time at the university where you are rushing, then yes, you may go through recruitment and accept a bid. You must be a full time student at the time at the university where you will be Greek, and your Greek membership isn't automatically transferrable to another UC.

If she is enrolled full time at Riverside or UCSB, she can rush there and pledge a sorority. Check with the Office of Greek Life at the school to confirm this.
But if she plans to go back to Berkeley, she runs the risk that there may not be a chapter of her sorority at Berkeley OR that her membership won't transfer to the Berkeley chapter of the sorority.
As a visiting student she'll only be away from her university for 16 weeks. It would be a little silly to pledge a sorority and then move away. There are plenty of other activities to get involved with. If she will be attending the same school as you during these visiting quarters, bring her around with your friends and help her get adjusted.
