We aren't even sure this is an NPC lane. She never said.

Are women from Barnard allowed to join Columbia's sororities?

She did talk about contacting the president of the "Collegiate Panhellenic Council," which I took to be an indication of NPC interest, but maybe not. She also mentioned "rush," which while the NPC doesn't use that term anymore, many PNMs do.

Yes ma'am, they are. But the official name is "Barnard College of Columbia University" and they share a course catalog. Barnard students join the Columbia scramble band, Columbia student orgs are open to Barnard women. Barnard does have some orgs that Columbia students can't join, but.. Columbia is pretty much open to Barnard.

To clear up some confusion and maybe get a clearer answer, I want to try and become a "member" of ZTA or Phi Mu. Sorry if my terminology isn't incorrect, I will have to do my research

So, while reading through every answer and tangent, someone said I might need to get permission from both schools. I don't have time to go through recruitment (?) during the Fall (fall athlete and working) so I was planning on trying for the Spring. If this is at all possible, should I email both schools' administrations and the President of the Collegiate Panhellenic Council and also officers from the sororities I want to try and get a bid from (I understand they can't promise bids)?

Again, any and all advice/help would be useful! But please, avoid tangents
