You should probably keep a lid on which nationals showed interest. Rumors concerning expansion tend to get a little out of control on here.
Once you know for sure who is coming to the school to present, let us know.
As to how you should approach the situation, be ready to ask the following questions:
- *Are there a lot of alumnae in the area? How would they support us?
*Are there other collegiate chapters in the area? How would they support us?
*How much support can we expect as a colony?
*What goals will we be required to fulfill before chartering? (How many members, what kind of pledge program if any you'll have to go through, what fees will need to be paid etc.)
*What is your chapter success ratio - that is, what percentage of your chartered chapters are still open?
*Will alumnae of our local be eligible to be initiated into the national sorority?
*What local traditions will we be permitted to keep? What must we get rid of - no ifs, ands or buts?
Those are just a few I thought of - other people probably have ideas.
