Right. I think she's missing the point.

What I am saying is that there is NO next step if the school is not in favor of expanding. You can't talk to Panhellenic because they aren't the ones who make expansion decisions for the school, Greek Life does.

You can't talk to your HQ because it doesn't matter if they send packets and express interest.

As much as you may want this chapter back at this school, if they are not open, it can't happen. You can talk to them until you're blue in the face. You can call, email, whatever, all you want but it most likely won't make them change their minds. The current sororities are not at a size where they feel comfortable with adding a new sorority. If they are not ready to expand at this time, there's nothing for you to do.

The procedure states that a new chapter can't be started unless the proper authority says the campus is open and it's not. So in a nutshell there is nothing further for you to do. There are policies that need to be followed and talking to your HQ or Panhellenic can't change that.
