If numbers are stable, then you may have a chance to affiliate, if numbers are unstable then just do a local, because it may be a while before an NPC will be willing to try colonization.
good luck! and read that UCSC thread!

Some campuses (like mine) require that for you to pursue affiliation, you start a local sorority (it was specified to us that we start a sorority, and not an interest group) and keep it going for one year. Sometimes it seems that there are too many options of requirements, suboptions, and demi-suboptions (yes I'm being facetious) in reaching the end result. For instance, the local vs. interest group thing that my campus has. If that statement seems unclear and confused, it's because that's what this process on my campus has rendered me - unclear and confused.
As always - when in doubt, refer to your own campus as the bottom line for what should be done. An interest group may be the easiest and best way to approach affiliation on your campus, which has only one NPC group.
