luc - brain fart/typo.

Alina Lee, if you have not rushed yet and wish to form a ZTA chapter at FIU I am willing to do it with you. I currently transferred to FIU from UF (Gamma Iota). I had a family emergency, which is why I had to leave UF. I would love to start a ZTA chapter at FIU. Just let me know.

Oh, dear.

I want a chapter of X...
 

I was sort of in my head going through the various groups and types of Greek Letter Organizations for how much a student can actually attempt to bring in a chapter of a *specific* organization.

From most to least difficult.
1) Phi Beta Kappa- Students aren't even involved in bringing Phi Beta Kappa to a school, it is an application from the administration (and a *lot* of money).
2) Some Honoraries- Some honoraries take applications from the appropriate College/Department within a University.
3) NPC - fairly unlikely, first you need the NPC to want to expand and then a single student who isn't a sister isn't going to have much influence as to who gets picked
4) IFC - Some schools have IFCs that will encourage/discourage expansion significantly, but certainly not at the same level as the NPC.
5) NPHC - I've seen schools where NPHC groups tried to keep others from coming on, but that seems more tied to conflict between specific groups.
6) Some professional/service groups outside the IFC. For example, Alpha Zeta or Alpha Phi Omega.
