Since a search did not reveal any threads on the topic, I decided to start one. There are numerous threads on how to choose the "right" sorority for you, but none that I could find on how to choose the "right" chapter.
So, you are a sorority member who graduates, relocates, etc and now there is more than one chapter in the area you can join. How do you make your decision?
I think the NPC may handle their alumnae groups a bit differently, but I am open to all comments.

Generally, you are invited to attend an event, then a meeting. You can write a letter to the chapter and/or the chapter president for that invitation.
These protocols could be in your organization's internal documents.
If you feel you have synergy with the chapter and the members, then you can make that decision when you get to that bridge.
Cost is a factor--not just dues, but also travel time, ability to make all the meetings--committee and chapter meetings and your desire to increase your knowledge and extend your understanding about your organization.
