You're at a Midwestern School with a somewhat competitive recruitment. (Out of 500 girls who rush every year, about 200 are cut). Many of the NPC sororities (including the one you are in) are nearing total.
A rather new local approaches the PHA (that's me and my sorority!) and requests associate membership. The entire executive board is really excited to welcome the local to the PHA. The delegates.... well, not so much. (Many delegates voiced the opinion at a meeting, while the delegates from our local were there that they didn't want the size of the PHA to change, they didn't want another group to compete against in formal, etc. The president pointed out that another group would need to be brought to campus within the next two years no matter what, due to the nearing of total and the amount of girls being cut)
What can we do to impress these delegates and show them we'd be excellent members of the Panhellenic? Both the Panhellenic Executive Board and the presidents of 11 out of 12 NPC groups are thrilled to have our local join as associate members. It's really the delegates and that 12th group I'm worried about.
What, as a delegate, would you like to see in a prospective sorority? What would impress you?

It seems like the biggest issue with Pan-Hel allowing new GLO's to be a part of it is...
What makes your sorority different than the others already part of PanHel.
What sets you off from the rest of the pack so to speak....
This is where philanthropy comes in a great deal
Recently Panhel at my school was presented another fraternity trying to start up on campus. They passed campus approval, but they needed Greek approval(in the form of pan hel)
What the deciding factor in this, for us at least, was a one year provisional membership.
At any time during this provisional period, with a 2/3 majority, we can kick this new GLO off campus basically.
while i'm not recommending you put your sorority on the chopping block quite that much, Maybe if you or your sororities representatives would ask them for a one year provisional membership, perhaps they would be more likely to grant your request.
Is PHA normally a NPC thing?
because at my school it is the exact polar opposite.
In fact, as it stands now we don't even allow NPC into panhel.
