If there are two or more NPC sororities on campus then the campus Panhel has to vote to accept another NPC sorority on campus. After that happens, NPC groups will send letters of interest and will make presentations regarding expansion.

Thanks. I do understand this. However, it seems that the NPC expansion procedure does allow a group of women to “request” (for lack of a better work) affiliation with a specific NPC sorority.
For example, under “Extension Information” listed on the NPC website, one of the "Inquiry Type" options is “I am a member of a local sorority/interest group that would like to pursue affiliation with an NPC group.” If it applies to the person's group making the inquiry, then they could continue to seek affiliation. If not, well it ends there.
In the Expansion Threads, there are posts noting NPC extensions where the local group wanted to affiliate with one specific NPC group. And there are NPC sorority members on Greek Chat who have discussed that their campus group petitioned (for lack of a better term) only one NPC sorority. So it has happed before.
I suspect these groups followed NPC protocol – contacted the campus panhellenic, college administration for approval. Also requesting and receiving approval by the NPC sorority HQ as well as the NPC Extension Committee. Maybe not in that order, but at some point, these groups signed off on the affiliation.
I understand this route to NPC affiliation is not the norm. However, as rigid as some may feel the NPC might be regarding affiliation, it seems like the NPC is willing to be flexible in certain situations.
