Co-Sign. You can go speak with Panhellenic Council and the individual chapters to get their support. If you email everyone on campus (whether they are in an NPC or not), you're very likely to get the "rumor mill" started and get some negative feelings aimed at you...especially if the chapter Panhellenic Delegate hasn't been telling the chapter what's up.
Best to target your email to a select audience.
And about the campus being open for expansion....it's definitely true that you need that to bring AEPhi on. HOWEVER, there's nothing stopping you from creating a "campus organization" (notice I did not say local sorority) with the intention of bringing another NPC sorority on campus. You may not be able to be considered a local sorority, though. The campus I'm working at now has had a registered campus organization be in existance for 3 years now...their sole purpose was to bring on another National Sorority. Now, they did not have a Greek Letter Name, they did not operate as a "local" sorority, and they were not affiliated with Panhellenic. However, they finally got a vote to expand from CP, and we're on the way.
What has your Panhellenic/Greek Advisor told you? I would work closely with Panhellenic....from what I understand the group on my campus stepped on a few toes way back when...and it hurt them for a while. But it's all good now!
