^^ That's how I read it, as well.
If that is the case, why do you want to go regional/national? If it's simply because your numbers are low right now, I would first analyze how big of a problem it actually is. In other words... how long have numbers been an issue? Has there been a steady decline over the years? Are the reasons you stated for "losing" PNMs the truth, or simply hearsay and "excuses" for not bringing more girls into the organization?
You might find that your time and effort is better spent working on your recruitment practices and strategies. Adding chapters to a local sorority is a big undertaking, and I wouldn't want you to feel pressure to do so simply because your new member classes haven't been as large for the past year (or something along those lines).
Basically... truly analyze why you want to expand, and only do so if you a) feel it's necessary, and b) want to.
