I know it takes time, but can someone provide some kind of timeline to maybe what needs to be done whether it is legal, people to talk to, or events to hold?
First off, it will take an extremly huge amount of time if you are looking to start out as a local per se and expand to a lager chapter basis.

It takes 15 years normaly to be accepted by NIC as a member. Expanding to other campuses is never easy to say the least.

Depending on your campus size and what GLOs are there is a start. How is your school in accepting any new group, how about the students, the size and is there a need?

Expansion today could take 5-10 years at least if evr.

You have a huge chore ahead of you if you decide to go for it.

Good luck in any advent.
