We're meeting with the IGC advisor on Monday to find out more. I am remaining optimistic about our chances because of our good relationship with the school, and the fact that we are still a small greek community. But it does look like we won't have much of a say when it comes to which org is picked, other than working with Panhel on who they'd already think is a good fit. I know the org would also have to pick us back, so it's tricky.

I know it's a disappointment; but, I agree with the others in saying that you don't have much to stand on at this point. For all intents and purposes, your sorority is now defunct and has no room to make "demands" about a new NPC GLO respecting your local sorority traditions and keeping it's history alive. There's also no room to negotiate that alumnae members get to be initiated, which IMHO, you should not be considering a "priority" as you stated in your first post.

Your best bet is to strengthen up what is left of your local sorority and hope that Panhellenic will allow you to offer some opinions on the new GLO. But, honestly, you'll be lucky if the new GLO agrees to take all 8 members (they don't have to do so).
