Local seeking NPC affiliation

[BlueEyedButrfly]

Thanks to you both!

I'm going to fill my activities director in tomorrow and hopefully we'll be able to get the letter for NPC. I've contacted the npc expansion chair (to find out what needs to be done) and she says that getting the letter of permission is the first step. There are 3 NPC sororities that we're highly interested in but I will not name them here. I understand that there is no guarantee of colonization but if no sorority chooses to colonize us then we'll just continue on being local. It IS very tough being the ONLY sorority on campus (a campus with no experience in the greek life department) because we have no guidance or structure. I'm hoping that a npc organization will be willing to be the first on our campus and to help us establish ourselves If not, then so be it.

Does anyone know how many girls are needed in order to colonize a npc sorority?

Also, what happens during the colonization process? I'm not sure if that is an appropriate question to be asking, if not, I apologize. If you do not want to respond here please PM me

Thanks for all of your help!!!

Depends on the NPC sorority. The sorority will probably want to see that there is a good, strong core group of women. This group doesn't necessarily have to be big; my local had 10 active sisters when we became an AEPhi colony.

The NPC sorority may also set a minimum number of women who must join before the chapter can be chartered. However, they will help you with recruitment.

During the colonization process, you'll be considered new members. Typically, you wouldn't be initiated until the chapter is chartered. You'll be responsible for the day-to-day running of the colony (with help from nationals) and each member will be responsible for completing her new member education (again, with help from nationals).

Good luck.
