in order for you to assist in bringing a chapter of your sorority onto your new campus, that campus would have to be open for expansion. for npc sororities there is a certain protocol that must be followed, most of it handled thru the local collegiate panhellenic on the campus.

basically, the college panhellenic feels there is a need for a new sorority on campus and takes a vote on that. if the vote passes, the npc is notified and the npc makes a general announcement to all 26 member sororities that your new campus is open for expansion. all interested sororities send information packets to the college panhellenic. the college panhellenic reviews each packet and decides which sororities they will invite to make a campus visit at which time those sororities will give presentations. after the presentations are made the collegiate panhellenic will vote on which sorority to invite to colonize. sometimes they will extend invitations to more than one sorority at a time, with the stipulation that abc sorority will colonize in the fall of 2007 and def sorority will colonize in 2009. this gives the first colony time to become established before the other one comes on board.
