I believe Beta Sigma Phi has online chapters, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, but you must be initiated into a land chapter first.

Our Online Chapters are mainly for women who become a BSP and move to an area without a chapter and dont want to start one, women who become to busy with their lives to stay active in a land chapter and so forth. Its a way to keep connected to the organization when you just cannot do it in real life.

People who would be good at explaining this would be BetaSigRose and others in Online chapters

I think online groups sound cool as a way to keep members in touch.

It makes more sense to me that it's a way of following up with regular members, rather than having a completely online process.

As far as joining different chapters and campuses, it's going to depend a great deal on which group and what campus. I don't think any NPC groups let you join as an undergraduate someplace other than where you are enrolled , but I think that sometimes NPHC and locals may. (I apologize if I'm wrong about NPHC; I'm not trying to present myself as an expert.)

Unless you are willing to be really specific about your circumstances, which I would NOT recommend, it's going to be very hard to find out the information you need here.

I think AI is a great program, but I don't think in the NPC groups that it's really designed to give something like an active experience. And, more importantly for people seeking membership, you can't really put yourself up for it.

And if your campus doesn't have recognized sororities, you will have to discuss your options with campus officials. They ultimately will have to choose to recognize your group if you do try to start one. I don't think, again I'm not an expert, that any national groups are going to create a chapter at a campus where the administration refuses to recognize greek groups.

(Thanks, OTW.)

Ah, thanks for that clarification. I learn things on GC all the time

BaruchStudent

Are you looking at a D9 sorority or an NPC sorority? Something about the way your question is worded is making me think the former...

Am I wrong in thinking that there are usually more than one chapter in a given area?

Also, there are other organizations that are more service oriented, like Beta Sigma Phi. You can always go online and do a google search for these said organizations.

I don't know if any other NPCs have chapters like this, but the Alpha Gam chapter at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia currently welcomes women from Dalhousie University, Dal Tech, Saint Mary's University, The University of King's College, Mount Saint Vincent University, and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.
At Case, women from Cleveland Institute of Art and Cleveland Institute of Music could join Case sororities (neither had Greek life of their own).

We do have online chapters in Beta Sigma Phi but USUALLY they prefer you join through a "land" chapter first. This is a slowly changing policy however and may change in the future. If this is a group you are interested in I would look as a case by case/chapter by chapter approach (EVERY online chapter of ours is different).
