Carnation:
Not sure who you may have contacted at NPC but the Extension Director is Jean Mrasek and her email is
jmrasek@juno.com
I believe it is wise to have NPC send the expansion lead out to all the 26 NPC groups. The obvious ones you might think would come to your campus might not be expanding at this time, might not want to touch a hazing campus with a ten foot pole or may just not be interested in that student population etc. You will have far more to consider if all 26 know about it and you can sift through their information and purge it down to one national per local. You may want to contact John Caroll University in Ohio. They just took something like 5-7 local womens groups and forced them to go national and it seems they are all having a great experience.
Any questions, please IM me.
