Unfortunately, Gamma Chi cannot join the National Panhellenic Conference in any capacity as a single chapter.
Is the university telling your chapter to affiliate with an NPC or are they inviting an NPC to campus regardless? If it is the former, find out how much “say” your chapter gets in “who” is picked.
Your only option at this point seems to be research the NPC groups not on your campus.

All of the NPC members have experience in absorbing local sororities so they understand what you are going through. AOII absorbed a Columbus State local sorority last fall and they will be installed as an AOII chapter this weekend. There is also a thread on this board regarding Alpha Chi Omega absorbing a local at Carnegie Mellon. It is a very interesting read.
Through the link that I posted, there is a tab called “Extension Information.” Click on that tab to find out more about the official process.
Best of luck!
