In continuing your research, you will need to locate the local graduate chapter of the sorority. They directly influence any re-activation or chartering of a inactive or new chapters.
The grad chapter is typically responsible for
1. Fact finding to confirm that having a chapter on your campus is viable.
2. Identifying grad members who will directly take on the task of serving as advisors for the potential chapter reactivation/chartering.
3. Filing the proper paperwork with your university and the regional/national Grand Chapter.
4. Securing approval for the chapter from the university and regional/national Grand Chapter.
5. Working with young ladies, like yourself in whatever capacity is required to prepare for new member intake, once approved by regional/national Grand Chapter.
Again, as you have said, do you homework.
Another suggestion, go online, look at the websites of other local undergraduate chapters and see who is the grad advisor. If you begin conversations with that person, perhaps they can give you guidance in working on what you can, and determining what is NOT your responsibility in achieving your dream to get a chapter reactivated/chartered on your campus.
Be professional when you speak to this person and be prepared to discuss what you can bring to DST, your academic achievements to date and your willingness to be a hard worker. Keep yourself busy with other things and do not allow yourself to become consumed with this activity. Do what you can, but don't lose sight of getting the most stellar gpa you can at your university.
Good Luck.
