Can anyone give me any advice about starting other chapters at other schools? We have talked about it and have about 4 schools in mind. The problem is we don't know how to go about it. I need help........:D thanks

Hello Zetagymnist,

First let me say that expanding to other campuses is a very long and difficult process. You will want to first contact the colloege or university and see what their requirements are. Then you want to go about getting interest on the campus, maybe posting up flyers or something, that is what my organization is currently doing. Be ready to come across a lot of schools that do not accept smaller organizations as well. Good luck in your journey.

There is a frat on my campus that started as a local frat and later affiliated with Kappa Alpha Order. To this day they use still use the original letters on t-shirts and stuff, along with the KA. It is actually kinda confusing for people who don't know.

It is so hard to be national, we are trying but I feel that the school/greek adviser/PNC is against us and trying to block our efforts........ :(

What I've gathered is that this a SLOW process. You can begin to work toward it, and if it has already begun, you can continue. However, people should prepare themselves for the probability that they will not see the fruits of their labors while they are active in the chapter. Don't give up, and don't get frustrated at the long process. What good and lasting things ever happen quickly?

WOW Its been almost a year since i started this thread so i thought i would give a lil update.

We are still associate members. YUP, Its been tough! Our panhellenic has voted twice to pass on on to extension and we keep getting shot down. Suposedly its because of NPC not the the other 3 National Orgs. And to be honest i dont know what to believe. So we are taking it day by day, but its frustrating because we feel that we are being strung along and not getting anywhere.

they will be voting again, and hopefully when that happens things will start to pick up and be a little better, frustrating still but at least to the next step.

Good luck to all locals! DONT GIVE UP!

hey everyone!! my sorority Sigma Lambda Epsilon, which was founded in 1993 at Sam Houston State University, TX just started a Beta chapter at Aurora University, Illinois. We are so excited!! Just 12 more to go to become national. We are doing great, and our colony is doing awesome.
