Basically the entire NPC.
Here's how it might go: you establish a local, which may exist for several years while you build numbers, build an alumna base, steady your sights on what you want as a sisterhood. Then you petition your university to expand. Maybe that takes a semester to talk them into it....... maybe a year. After the university agrees, you invite several sororities to "present" on campus. So that's maybe another semester, you inviting, them preparing, making time to come visit. Then you choose one. Then you are installed as a colony. Then you pledge as a colony. Then you are initiated.
The whole thing takes forever. It's a nice system because it means fewer chapters fail, since it's kind of a mutual selection between the university, the girls, and the sorority -- but it does take forever.
