Not necessarily, brother. Each campus is unique.

NPC groups have the goal of equality. The seem to have the belief that their success is assured if their competitors are successful as well. Therefore, when you have a situation where all but one chapter (maybe a few more on big campuses) are at quota, there still may be no call for expansion.

Fraternities are a lot different. When there's just the remote possibility that another group might succeed, you'll often find a colony.

Having been a colonist, I can attest to the unique challenges that entails. It's hard work, but well worth it.

I can't recall precisely what Sigma Nu's rule is on this. If it is even remotely possible to join after being initiated in another organization (which I'm not clear on), you certainly would have to gain some sort of official dismissal from your previous organization (which is in many cases anything but automatic).

Best of luck to the OP.
