To affiliate with a National, the School must first allow them on campus.
Sometimes if you find a National who is willing to affiliate you, they go and talk to the School to see how the land lays and the wind blows. Many Colleges are anti Greek because of the events that have transpired with other Colleges. The problem is that if it were not for Greeks on campus, homecoming would be nil along with participation on committees! If your school is totally aganst Greeks you do not stand much of a prayer. If you can talk them into looking at other schools that have positive feed back that would be of help. If there are schools near you talk to some of the Greeks on that campus. Most Nationals are interested in expanding only where they are wanted and the atmosphere is right.
We have closed down chapters for stupid things that have been done. 90 % of the Greeks are great but you only read or hear about the other 10 %.
Stats prove that Greeks are more involved and have higher GPA than independents on the average. Good luck with your endevor as I affiliated with LXA and have never looked back and still work with them after @ 36 Yrs.
