Building something New is an awesome thing to do! Speaking from experience!
If a Group cannot hold their own, then why force others to not be able to join something that they would rather do?

Tom, we'll probably have to agree to disagree on this one. But let me say this: Because NPC sororities use the system of total and quota, and because of our national agreements, it's not practical or beneficial to us to allow new colonies to start up all the time. Formal rush, quota, and reputation combine to create a cycling of groups on campuses--one group is "uncool", loses numbers, leaves campus, another group comes, doesn't make a strong start, loses numbers, leaves campus.... and on and on. The reason most Panhellenic are reluctant to authorize expansion when not every group is at total--it leads to a needless cycling and wasted money of members and national NPCs. Most Panhellenics prefer to work on developing and strengthening all groups until expansion can be considered.
Now, if formal rush, quota, and the unanimous agreements were eliminated, everything would change. But there's no way in hell that's happening.
