It's great to know we have a resource with this level of background information, and it may seem like some of the posters here are pretty jaded, but if you follow this site from, say, August to October (when most rushes happen), you'll find all kinds of threads about expansion, colonies and the dreaded I want to start my own sorority/fraternity. There are several pat answers that should work in virtually every case. If there is an established Greek system on your campus, you need to start with them. If there is not an established Greek system on your campus, you should probably start researching the organizations that you think you'd like to start, and contact them. THIS would be where you might be able to help. A guy wants to start a chapter of a fraternity and there are none on his campus. He can talk to you and get advice about how to move forward.

But even with your level of expertise, I would counsel against any girl who wants to start an NPC sorority chapter from going to you. My fear is all you would accomplish is getting her hopes up, when NPC colonization is a very fixed process. Now, maybe you could help her if she goes to a school with no NPC sororities, but if a girl from, god forbid, Arkansas contacts you, all you would be able to accomplish is opening up a huge kettle of fish. Yes, it needs to expand, yes every NPC sorority is aware of this, and yes, they (likely) have all been approached by Arkansas. So what could you possibly tell her, other than buy a house that can sleep 100, and then go shopping for an NPC chapter to put in it?

On the other hand, if you have gossip to share about colonies and expansions, I'd love to hear it! We have a great thread for that already in place.
