Three Sororities Selected to Present at Northwestern

[FSUZeta]

to explain npc expansion in a nutshell:

1. campus panhellenic and administration decide that campus needs another sorority

2. they notify national panhellenic conference hdqtrs. that they are looking to expand

3. npc sends out notification to all npc sororities headquarters

4. all interested npc sororities send an information packet to the school

5. administration and panhellenic officers go thru packets and choose a certain number to make presentations on campus.

6. sororities make presentations

7. campus greek life officers (and perhaps admin.) take a vote on which group they want and extend an invitation to that sorority to colonize.

those voting may vary from campus to campus, but i believe that it usually happens this way.

This doesnt take into consideration that there might be an interest group of women who might want another sorority on campus. I wasn't a part of the original interest group, but I AM a colony member of my chapter, and the reason Alpha Xi Delta was chosen on my campus was because it's the organization that the interest group wanted.

Excellent outline--and I would add that NPC orgs make their decision at different times. Some may only present or send packets to schools where they are willing to establish a chapter, while others may wait to make a decision final decision after presentation etc. As with membership selection, its a different process for each organization and different factors are taken into account.
