If your university was aware of your infraction and had a hand in your suspension, it's unlikely they will permit the exact same members to form a local sorority. They would be too worried about a repeat of the same behavior, but this time without a national governing body to help regulate. If the suspension was only generated by your Nationals, you might have a chance.
When you describe what you're looking for, you emphasize the sisterhood and the service and the ability to continue to grow your sorority with new members. What about socializing? I'm just guessing that a formal getting out of hand probably involved infringement on your alcohol policies, yes? Is that kind of social life important to your members? Your best chance at either forming a local or affiliating with a non-NPC national is if you can convince the decision-makers that the members who "got out of hand" are not involved in this new group.
One more thing.... Is your intent for the group to bide its time until it can reaffiliate with your Nationals after the suspension is lifted? Obviously, the current members will be gone by then (which is the whole point, from National's perspective) but would you expect the local's newer members to seek reaffiliation when there is a chance?
