The creation of a new chapter must follow the limitations created by the College's Student Life Initiative, instituted by the Board of Trustees in 1999. The SLI set a moratorium on the founding of traditional Greek houses, stating that a Greek organization could not be newly instituted if it is residential, single-sex and selective -- but could potentially exist if it followed only two out of these three boundaries.

According to Jimenez, the ideal plan is for a national charter to be chosen in the fall by the new sorority members, who will consist of any women interested, as the customary selective process will not yet exist. The sisters will rank the 23 national organizations not currently present at Dartmouth, and from there will jointly reach a conclusion.

I know they've been begging for this for forever and I wish them well but does anyone else see problems with this?

A NPC is not going to come to a campus where they are not allowed to have selective membership or are denied the right to ever have housing (if the rest of the groups do). Unless they're interested in something like Gamma Sigma Sigma.

It sounds like they are going to get a group together with just whoever is free and then pick an NPC - that is not the case, the NPC has to decide if it wants to come there.

I know they don't have a typical system there, but they need to do some homework on how expansion operates if they want another NPC group.
