Sigma Sigma Sigma and Alpha Xi Delta are the two I know who are coming for sure...anyone come from a local sorority that later became national and have some tips? In one of these orgs and have advice or tips as well?

Well, I am a Sigma Sigma Sigma sister that was a member of a local that petitioned several NPC sororities and we clicked with Sigma right away. They helped us with that TOUGH transition from local to National, and understood that we also wanted to keep some local traditions. They were always willing to work with us. We also have a program that puts a three year support plan into place. After colonizing, you have three years of unlimited support from EO so that if you have any questions or doubts, they are there for you. Not to say that after those three years you are left flapping in the wind, ut after researching, we found that most new chapters fail within three years. We felt that laying the solid groundwork a new chapter needs leaves them stronger than when we got there. I love being a Tri Sigma. Of course, AXiD is a great NPC as well, I just don't know anything about them. I would encourage you to ask all questions that linger in your mind and go with your heart! Feel free to email me at sigma94@yahoo.com to ask any questions you would like answered!
