It's not unheard of for a local group to form with the goal of becoming a chapter of a national org. My own chapter started out as a local sorority - they wanted to affiliate with AEPhi from the start, but the campus wasn't open to expansion at the time. When Panhel did open the campus for expansion, then we were able to become part of AEPhi.
Kappa Gamma went astray, though, when they selected letters, colors, and symbols so similar to those of Kappa Kappa Gamma as to be nearly indistinguishable, and when they stated that they were definitely affiliating with KKG. KKG may not even be interested in colonizing at SCSU!
It's a bit like a PNM showing up to recruitment dressed head to toe in the colors of one particular sorority and saying things like, "WHEN I am an XYZ..." Offputting, to say the least.
