There are admirable things about every NPC. The NPCs wouldn't have lasted as long as they have if they did not have solid values and purpose.

OP, I think I get what your saying - you admire Tri Delta and would like the possiblity of becoming one. The reality of your posts have come across a little like you putting down the other groups on your campus - which I don't think you ment, but thats how people have taken them. From what you have said, you looked at them already and decided the groups on your campus aren't for you - and thats totally fine, its just the way you said it that people took offense to.

As for expansion, I come from a school in the south where greek life is exploding. We've had 4 greek organizations come to campus in 10 years. All have been extremely successful - but it takes time, money (both the school and the NPC), support and most importantly - need. Does your campus need another sorority? And if there is a need, does your campus have the money, time, and support to have a new group come to campus? These are the things that your Panhellenic and school have to determine. They will not bring a group on campus because you want them too. And for arguments sake - even if they do open for expansion, it doesn't mean Tri Delta will submit a proposal or even if they do - it doesn't mean that they will be chosen to colonize there.

If the OP attends St. Joe's in PA - I'm pretty sure they aren't opening for expansion. I have a friend (greek from another school) who is adjunct there and she has told me that St. Joe's administration generally is not very fond of greek life, likes to keep it contained, and only really has it to attract and keep students from going to other catholic university's who don't have greek life.
