THANK YOU. This is an excellent point that people sometimes miss. We have tons of non-Jewish sisters, as (I'm sure) does SDT.
I'm a little confused by something, though - maybe I've just missed it. Is this going to be a from-the-ground-up colonization or is Gamma Lambda looking to go national? Or is Gamma Lambda waiting to see which sorority is chosen before deciding whether to try to affiliate or continue operating as a local?
My understanding is that when a local wants to join an NPC sorority, Panhel doesn't do the work of hearing presentations and making a selection - the local does (though Panhel must approve the final selection). The local can indicate a preference for a particular NPC sorority if they wish, although their information still goes to all NPC sororities not already represented on campus. That is what happened in the case of my local - we indicated our preference for AEPhi, and AEPhi presented directly to us, not Panhel.
Is it different because my local was an associate member of Panhel? It sounds like Gamma Lambda is not affiliated with Panhel at all.
