Moxie--
If your campus were to expand, it would be the responsibility of the campus to inform Panhellenic of their decision. All of the national sororities not on campus already are notified and will send interest packets. From there, it's up to your local panhellenic to make decisions. If you have a particular opinion, I would address a letter to the Director of Greek Life, indicating what your thoughts are. Not much more can be done after that.

My alma matter is currently throwing around the idea of expanding for a fourth sorority to take the place of Kappa Delta (as if they could  ). I know the name Chi O had been tossed around in Panhellenic meetings over the past year, whether or not Chi O has been approached, I do not know. A good friend and sister of mine suggested that my campus look more towards the "smaller" sororities. Basically, this is a fantastic idea in my opinion. My understanding is a lot of what is holding back smaller orgs is money. So, a campus like mine, money is not really important because upstart costs would be low. You would be dealing with a chapter of 50 girls, max. Housing is not a problem because an on-campus, college-regulated house is provided for Greek orgs. We're in WV, which is not tremendously far from Pennsylvania. In my mind, it could and should work.
So the question is...how do I, as member that is not affliated with one of these orgs get the word out to our Panhell? Kind of propose the idea without making it seem like I'm representing these organizations. (Although if you could arrage a kickback from ASA, 33girl, it would be much appreciated. j/k  ) Quite honestly, I do not think that our Panhell would ever consider this possibility on their own.
