NIC "Open Expansion"

[Senusret I]

It seems to me that the school's rules trump the NIC rules, as they would any umbrella or individual organization.

It seems that this rule prohibits the campus IFC from making the determination, but the school itself can still make the decision of what's in the best interest of the campus.

Am I wrong?

I think it would depend on whether or not all members of the campus IFC were NIC. I don't know, but it they are would they be bound by the rule?

I do think any NIC would think long and hard before starting a colony on a hostile campus - it takes a great deal of time and money to start from scratch.

This is how I understood it.

On my campus, there is a rule that no council can take on additional colonies if there is already one organization in colony status (ex. if ODPhi is currently classified as a colony, LTPhi can't come on campus).

Also, if the school has minimum standards for membership and GLOs, that should prevent lesser people (whatever that means) and organizations from "diluting" the system.
