to explain npc expansion in a nutshell:

1. campus panhellenic and administration decide that campus needs another sorority

2. they notify national panhellenic conference hdqtrs. that they are looking to expand

3. npc sends out notification to all npc sororities headquarters

4. all interested npc sororities send an information packet to the school

5. administration and panhellenic officers go thru packets and choose a certain number to make presentations on campus.

6. sororities make presentations

7. campus greek life officers (and perhaps admin.) take a vote on which group they want and extend an invitation to that sorority to colonize.

those voting may vary from campus to campus, but i believe that it usually happens this way.
