Help Finding a non-NPC Sorority to Affiliate With!

[LPIDelta]

Normally I am all for new locals and people starting new groups if warranted, but it seems odd to me that they won't allow another NPC because of numbers but they will go ahead and ok another sorority. That really won't improve the situation for the NPC groups, or the other sororities on campus, and given all that the current orgs have invested to be on campus I would hope they would honor that first.

Why not approach one of the existing orgs as a group and offer a "merger" of sorts? Sometimes recruitment just isn't run correctly and it causes all kinds of issues with women going unmatched. If the groups are as hard off as you seem to indicate, I would think they might jump at the chance to add a whole group of friends to the mix who are interested in making a difference for Greek life.

Otherwise, you have have your work cut out for you. GOOD LUCK!

The rules for allowing another NPC on campus are specific and laid down by the NPC. A non-NPC sorority wouldn't have to jump through the same hoops.

Do you know for a FACT that these other girls were not given bids by ANY sorority, or did they turn down bids or drop out before the end of rush?

"I didn't like the options I had so I quit before pref" or "I turned down the bid because I didn't like the sorority" does not equal "unchosen."

I can't say that I do, because I don't know them all personally.

LPIDelta, I think you're getting your threads confused. There was another thread, regarding an undisclosed school, that had two groups trying to go NPC but there was a tie when the CPC voted.

It's the same school in both threads.

Calm down it was a question. While I am familiar with the other thread that luvntpa started, I had not seen her roll call thread. Be easy, sheesh.

In case anyone is interested in how this situation is progressing, a non-NPC national group has been selected and contacted about expansion. An interest group has been formed and will be meeting this semester in order to attempt an expansion process.

Also, thank you so much to the girls who expressed interest in expanding their local organizations to our campus. We were unfortunately informed that local organizations are not allowed at our school, and were thus unable to consider your groups in our process (although we would have loved to!). But thank you again SO much for you messages and support. <3

We have, in essence, been told that we cannot bring a new NPC sorority to campus, so we are looking into the possibility of a local organization. Ideally, we would like to have other groups either nationally or locally that we could talk to, meet up with, and share traditions and rituals with. The problem is, we're having a lot of trouble figuring out what our options are! It seems like a lot of the databases with lists of locals and national GLOs have many broken links, or don't list many schools near us. So, myself and the girls were hoping that you could give us some suggestions of sororities that you either belong to, or know of, in our area for us to get into contact with! We're from Ramapo College of NJ, which is in Mahwah, NJ.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

I sent you a PM

Are you looking to start a chapter or a whole new sorority? Sorry, I'm confused....
