Any advice? Thank you all so much!

Unfortunately it doesn't work the way that you are hoping.
First, your campus panhellenic has to be open to extension. In other words, they have to vote to add a NPC sorority to your campus. At that time, any of the NPC organizations (there are 26) can submit packets declaring interest in chartering a group on your campus. From the packets submitted, your campus panhellenic will narrow it down to a few groups (usually around 3) to come to campus to present. Following that, the campus panhellenic will vote on which group to invite to colonize.
It is pretty rare for there to not be any groups on a campus that would be "right" for someone. All chapters are made up of many different individuals. Have you gone through recruitment? Since there is virtually no chance for your dream of bringing Tri-Delta to your campus then I would encourage you to look again at the groups already there. You may surprise yourself.
