Talk to NPC again and explain the exact situation with the student activities director, I am sure it isn't unheard of.

If your campus doesn't want to help but isn't out right against National organizations you still have a chance of starting up a chapter, it will just be more work. From what I have I seen you will probably need to remain a local for a year or two at least unless your student activities director decides to become supportive.

First, strenghten your local organization as much as you can. The stronger the group is the more likely an organization would be willing to colonize. You have to prove that even without supportive student life office you can retain membership, have women active on campus and have a high gpa. Right now a national group may not want to take a risk with your chapter for fear it would close quickly without a larger number of members and a supportive administration. Prove you're not a risk!

Secondly, you have 3 groups in mind and I don't know what they are but please keep your mind open when it comes to which groups you would be willing to affiliate with. There are certain groups that are more willing to work with schools that either aren't traditionally greek, have a high percentage of commuters and/or will most likely have smaller chapters. Plus groups with these types of chapters will be more familiar with your type of student life director.

If you really want to do this you still can, it just won't happen overnight
