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.

Brother, check into Knighting Ritual on this one. It's pretty clear. Also check The Law of Sigma Nu at www.SigmaNu.com, PM me for the password.....and yes I know you're a brother....I looked up your badge and you're legit :-P

first off, Phi Psi is on a serious expansion kick right now, with 10 colonies and one group about to charter in April, so if this guy is serious all he has to do is pick up the phone and call HQ (if you need the number, PM me) and ask for Ron Ransom, the Expansion Director.

Secondly, like all NIC fraternities, once you join us, you cannot quit and join someone else. That's Crazy - plus why would you want to leave?

OP = 7 months ago from a post-and-run user. I doubt he's still interested.

I know Alpha - But I'd rather be the Brother that made sure his Brother got all the info he needed.

That's cool, but I was just throwing that out there before this turns into "OMG why is trying to join another GLO, what's the matter with him" thing. They can get ugly fast, and since the OP probably doesn't read GC anymore, it's not an issue.
