Question about technical NPC details?

[sratgirly]

Me and a couple girls from my chapter of an NPC sorority have been talking about the chapter as a whole lately, and we have been struggling a little bit. Our pledge class kind of turned around the chapter (I'm not saying that in a good or bad way; things were just very different before we got there and we have a very different mentality than all of the older sisters). We were joking around about how nice it would be to just separate and start our own sorority...and it's sounding better and better every day. I know this can be done with a "local" sorority and everything (ex. Delta Nu separating from Chi Omega at Dickinson College in the 80s I believe?), but is it possible that we separate and start a new chapter of an NPC sorority? I know that sometimes if chapters are too small they will absorb all into one and become an NPC sorority, but is this possible if we're already initiated sisters of one NPC organization? I love my pledge class and the girls that have come after us, but the older sisters have been a thorn in our sides for so long now.

TIA for any helpful advice/information!
