Let's spin this a more positive way....your interest group/local sorority was founded with an interest to join Alpha Xi Delta. Actually, I think that is quite flattering. It's rather common for locals with that intention to have similar/same colors and symbols as the national they want to affiliate with (example....Beta Sigma Chi at SPSU, which tried for 8 years to become Sigma Chi before they gave up and affilitated with another national fraternity last year).
I realize there are the NPC expansion guidelines and such, but has your local continued the desire to affilitate with Alpha Xi Delta, or any other NPC group since your founding or are you content with being local? I'm not familiar with your campus, IF your chapter wanted to affilitate, would your campus be agreeable? How do you interact with the NPC's.
I do find it somewhat disheartening that members of a local group wouldn't be aware that other groups might have similar letters...especially one they were founded to affiliate with. But then again, many students live in the bubble of their campus, so it really doesn't surprise me.
