There are 17 sororities on campus and 4 of those are NPC sororities(Tri-Sig, Phi Sigma Sigma, Sigma Delta Tau, and Delta Phi Epsilon....however, DPhiE just got suspended for hazing) and we feel that DZ is exactly what we need and would be a great addition to Montclair State.
We have been trying to find out more about whether MSU is open for expansion....
Any suggestions to help us in this process would be greatly appreciated.

Montclair is NOT and will NOT be open for expansion/extension anytime soon. It concerns me for you to say that DZ HQ is along for the ride in support of this. Based on your mistatements about DPhiE, I suspect it is that you are not being truthful. DZ has some large expansions on their horizon and a campus where all groups are under total and potential membership is 30 women is not a sound business decision for this strong successful NPC group to entertain unless there are sound reasons to (i.e. the national president's daughter is going there in the Fall)
DPhiE is NOT suspended and your disparaging remarks reflect negatively on your attempts to establish a new group. With 17 groups and 4 NPC groups, there is NO need for a new group - there is no unfilled need (everything is covered, latino, npc, nphc etc).
23 women in interest group is a very successful recruitment - you would do well to see if one of the struggling established groups would like to accept your group as a new member class and then your strength and eagerness will become the backbone of the org (leadership etc)
The Panhellenic sororities must vote to bring on a new group but with all groups under campus total, they are not meeting their own obligations to their national orgs and therefore would not in favor of expansion.
I live a few minutes from the campus and this scenario played out at Hofstra in the 1990s - too many groups came on - membership could not be supported, some groups closed and quota is 8 each year.
