You won't be able to start a chapter of an existing (inter)national organization. You will have to go through a rather long process of starting your own local group. You will need to name it, give it colors, mottos, bylaws, set dues, have meetings, etc. You will definitely have to discuss it with Greek Life at your school. Greek Life may tell you that the University is not interested in expansion and your local may be put on the back burner to simmer until the school is ready for another NPC organization. Becoming a junior member of your school's Panhellenic Council is paramount, you will not be allowed to vote, but can get an idea of what is involved. If the school is looking to expand, there is a rather formal courting process between the organizations interested in your group, and the school. It is most likely that if you engage in this process, you won't be initiated until long after graduation (provided the organization allows for alumna initiates). I'll be happy to discuss further, if you're interested.
