Thanks to you both!
I'm going to fill my activities director in tomorrow and hopefully we'll be able to get the letter for NPC. I've contacted the npc expansion chair (to find out what needs to be done) and she says that getting the letter of permission is the first step. There are 3 NPC sororities that we're highly interested in but I will not name them here. I understand that there is no guarantee of colonization but if no sorority chooses to colonize us then we'll just continue on being local. It IS very tough being the ONLY sorority on campus (a campus with no experience in the greek life department) because we have no guidance or structure. I'm hoping that a npc organization will be willing to be the first on our campus and to help us establish ourselves

If not, then so be it.
Does anyone know how many girls are needed in order to colonize a npc sorority?
Also, what happens during the colonization process? I'm not sure if that is an appropriate question to be asking, if not, I apologize. If you do not want to respond here please PM me
Thanks for all of your help!!!
