Sorry for the bitchy tone, but this thread has been bugging the crap out of me. I think every alum of a closed chapter wants it to reopen - but if you don't care what the current students want, you're not going to get too far.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, what's exceptional in this case is that the alumna, who has worked with her GLO since graduation, here will be a current grad student at that school in a field where working closely with student organizations and campus life would dovetail with her studies.
Sure you all are right that typically one individual doesn't drive the expansion process, but oddly, it does kind of sound like the campus had merely been complacent about their number of groups and Freeverse's interest is at least causing them to examine the status of their system.
And honestly, I'm not sure it is typical for expansion to be initiated by students on campus. I think it's probably equally as likely that it comes about because Greek Life staff are well versed in the desires of NPC groups to expand and they see that the campus numbers could support another chapter. I can't think of an SEC expansion that started with an interest group, for instance. And I'd be somewhat surprised if it was the school undergraduate Panhellenic members that got the ball rolling. I suspect that it depends a lot on the size of the system and if the school even has full time greek life employees.
