What according to your school guidelines prohibits you from going national? I'm in a local, and have no experience with affiliating with/ going national. What makes your group want to go national/ affiliate? How successful are you with numbers etc? . Coming from a local, we'd rather stay local, sure it would be great to have national support, recognition... and all the great things associated with it... but I guess we're the only ones, and there is something wonderful in that too. I guess my question is... why your org wants to?

The members on here from other groups know a hell of a lot more than I do about this, so I'm sure that would be a bigger help... but I was just curious anyway.

We want to go national because our school does not allow local sororities to be a part of greek life. We are basically considered a club and are not recognized as a sorority. We were in the past but some paper work issues happened several years ago (before I became a member) and since then the rules on campus have changed.

ah i see. that makes a lot more sense. I would try to contact some national orgs and find out how willing they are to expand. What are your schools rules on expansion as well, do you think you'll be able to get approval from Pan-hel? I know when some girls tried to bring another org on campus, as President's, we had to vote on it, and we all said no because our greek system wasn't healthy enough to support another org... so that's another thought... but that's down the road, for the time being, research and see what else is out there.

you can PM me if you need anything else, I'll do my best to answer

What other sororities are on your campus?

Are you saying you want to affiliate with a non-NPC sorority?

(for other GCers, click on read all her posts, it will make more sense)
