I also go to UTEP and this group has been trying to get picked up by a national NPC group. They started out as AKL sweehearts and formed the Aldelphean Society and then New Delta in 2007. Starting out they wanted to become a colony of ADPi but for some reason they didn't want to expand to UTEP. Finally, last semester (Fall 2009), ZTA and AXiD nationals gave the ok for New Delta to expand. This month we will know what national NPC groups are interested in picking up New Delta. I've heard rumors of ASA and DZ. We'll see. In the end, ZTA & AXiD have final say.

You have no idea how this works, do you?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when it comes to expansion doesn't the school and panhellenic council have the final say, not the chapters?
This is what I've always thought, hence my asking.

Correct me if needed, but don't the chapters make up the PHC?

Well, the chapters at the school are A Xi D and ZTA currently, so he's kind of right since that's all that the school's Panhel is made up of, but he makes it sound like the expansion packets are getting sent to their nationals or something.

The chapter should vote on what their Panhel delegate does (and I'm sure sometimes they get "nudges" from their HQ) and the delegate votes accordingly, but if she wants to go rogue and vote otherwise...she can. She'll probably lose her office or get terminated for doing so, but she can do it.

However, in this case there's an interest group involved, so hopefully if the interest group says "we really like PQR and we can't stand JKL" the Panhel members won't pick JKL just to be jagoffs.

That's how I read it. Thank you for offering a different idea of what she might have meant.

[obiwan1221]

Yes, the chapters make up NPC and I meant the delegates of ZTA and AXiD would vote, not myself in particular. The groups interested in expanding to UTEP sent in their packets to the Greek Advisor and those that ND are interested in will give a presentation open to all of NPC members.

Proud to say that finally we have all been informed that Alpha Sigma Alpha and Alpha Gamma Delta are coming down in May to give presentations!
