Your best option is to affiliate with a NPC sorority that is not currently on you campus. We affiliated with Theta Phi Alpha and it was a great decision. They allowed us to keep a lot of traditions that we had as a local sorority. All of our Alumna we also allowed to colonize along with the active sisters, so we didn't have to lose the support system that we already had, we just gained a larger one. Since we colonized and chartered our chapter has grown by leaps and bounds, not just in numbers, but also in involvement on campus and the community. I know that it feels like an awful decision that your chapter has to make, but it greatly helped mine. I hope this helps you and let me know if I can help you if you want any contact information for Theta Phi Alpha extensions.

As the OP has stated, their chapter is rather unique and any NPC that they joined would need to make the necessary accomodations. They also have two other chapters. Unless those other two chapters want to join them in becoming part of TPA or any other national sorority, their best bet is to do the things they need to incorporate and obtain insurance as the entity they already are.
