All this discussion of Tri Delt is neither here nor there, because your school has to be OPEN for expansion before it can happen.

You can love Tri Delt til the cows come home, but if your school is not open for expansion, there will be NO NEW chapter.

Focus on that.

We all expand using the same prodecures. When you contact Tri Delt, I can pretty much guarantee that they will want to know if your school is OPEN.

They cannot colonize unless it is.

The existing Panhellenic Council will make the decision about whether the school needs another sorority. This means that typically every sorority on campus is at maximum membership and there are enough girls interested in starting a new colony. The school only considers it when they feel like there are enough interested women to support a new colony. There has to be a genuine need for a new group.

This is what you are failing to understand. Expansion is not about your love for Tri Delt. They don't say "Oh you love Tri Delt, so we'll colonize here." They are not going to be interested in your school unless it is open because they HAVE to follow procedure.

This has to go through the proper channels.

Contact your school and see about expansion.

Then contact Tri Delt.
