The following is from the link proved by AZ-AlphaXi regarding Kappa Kappa Gamma’s process on extension.
And above that quote, the Kappa Kappa Gamma website alludes to NPC policy.

No, that's how we go about colonizing.
The wrong part is that you don't start with Kappa (it's even on Kappa's website). You start with Panhellenic. There's a link on Kappa's page to this site:
http://www.npcwomen.org/extension-info.aspx
Here's some text (bold is mine) for you from the linked site for you to reflect on, which has been reiterated throughout this thread.
The NPC Extension Committee acts as the clearinghouse for both colleges and NPC groups by monitoring the development and/or extension of Panhellenic communities according to NPC extension protocol. This protocol is based on binding agreements followed by all 26 NPC member groups. It is critical to note that NPC groups will colonize only at appropriately accredited, bachelor degree-granting colleges and universities if
permission has been granted by what we term the “Proper Authority.” The identity of the Proper Authority depends on the particular situation and is described more fully in the materials available for download. The NPC Extension Committee serves to verify that the Proper Authority has granted permission and is also available to advise and assist in the various approaches of establishing chapters of NPC member groups. As you begin the extension process, it's important to understand the basic terminology. Please download the
Glossary of Terms for more information.
If Murray State is open for expansion, organizations who are interested are going to be given the opportunity to present to Panhellenic. Panhellenic will then vote to see who will colonize.
There's also evidence that Murray State is not in need of another NPC org. The OP also admitted that his friend likely got cut from the group she wanted to join and is interested in starting her own group because the existing orgs aren't up to snuff. A group of 18 women at a school of the size of Murray State (where Greek life is only 10% of the student population) could completely turn around an organization and their campus reputation if they wanted to.
Finally, it's just freaking weird for a dude to be this interested in getting a sorority started.
