Also, joining NPC with the min. amount of chapters would be ridiculous, for reasons we don't need to get into, seeing as though ya'll only have one chapter.

It looks like your only option is affiliation with an existing NPC. I'm not sure where ya'll decided on Sigma, but they would also have to decide to take you as well. Usually, if you want to become an NPC chapter, you invite several different NPCs to present, and then the sororities choose to accept the invitation to present, and then you choose from those who present, which NPC you would like to affiliate with, upon their approval.

the reason why i mentioned the Sigma is that we are the deaf local sorority on campus. Sigma is also another deaf national there. my college mentioned to join the Sigma

Umm...I'm a little confused. Are you saying Sigma Sigma Sigma National Sorority that IS part of the NPC is on your campus, and you want your chapter to become a part of them, because they have a deaf chapter??

From what I understand, and I think I know what school the OP is in, since the Tri Sigma chapter at her school is a deaf chapter, and her local is a deaf chapter as well, they would just become a part of the Tri Sigma chapter there.

In that case, I doubt Sigma would just take the whole chapter...they'd probably have to rush and get bid, just like all the other PNMs.

I think she's saying that her school suggested Tri Sigma because they already have a deaf chapter.

Sigma Sigma Sigma is part of NPC on my campus, and since we are a deaf local sorority, my university wants us to consider to have our chapter to join the Sigma since they have deaf members on the same campus (to clarify, both of the chapters have deaf members)
