I'm actually wondering if any of the NBO girls (a freshman or sophomore) stuck around at UCSC long enough to get hooked up into ASD/KKG.

Well, helloooo! Why didn't someone just ask? Haha, it's late at night, and I'm lurking on the 'net, so I dug this up. No one in our chapter was ever affiliated with NBO. I joined/helped found Alpha Sigma Delta at the beginning of my sophomore year (Fall 06). There was no sign of NBO or Theta Nu Xi at that point.
I honestly don't think NBO or its members had anything to do with our founding or later affiliation. (No offense, it's just not that closely connected.) We had a different student org adviser (we have no Greek adviser) who knew nothing about NPC and expansion and such. I feel like most people mentioned in her story had graduated or moved on by the time we came about.
Also, someone mentioned how we were an interest group or something like that. That's a pretty valid statement. The school wouldn't allow NPC reps to come to campus to recruit members. They told our founding president that she needed to have a student formed organization before we could affiliate with a national organization. We were in touch with the NPC pretty early on, and we started receiving interest packets from sororities only 3-4 months after we were founded.
There were also some posts about Gamma Phi Beta and how they didn't offer Corina a bid. They just didn't have the capacity to offer that many bids. Being the only NPC sorority on campus made them huge. They're definitely the biggest Greek org on campus. It's hard to hold events/meetings with our members and we're a lot smaller than them. (But growing!
)
I'd be happy to answer any other questions here or by PM if you want.
Oh, and yes, our student org website is lame. Ugh, I know.
