Starting a sorority through the city

Great point. I would add, however, that having a defined interest group would be helpful to demonstrate this is a need and interest on campus. It shows they have done their research and are ready to go. Hence contacting the groups to see what the requirements are. All nationals have expansion materials they can send to give this young lady and her friends an idea of what they need to do. The national group hasn't done anything but perhaps spent a couple of bucks on postage to send marketing materials their way.

If the school is anti-Greek and intends to remain so, your best option is to transfer to a school with Greek Life. I'M KIDDING. No, really, then, your best option is a non-collegiate group. But again, it is a lot of work.

Edited because I was going to suggest starting a local, but if the school won't recognize Greek Life, I don't want to advise students to create organizations that violate university policy and potentially jeopardize their degrees. Some things may not be "fair," but you chose to go to school here and abide by the school's rules.

Our school recently within the past two years lifted a rule that says we would be expelled for being part of a secret society or off campus Greek life, hence forming a local wouldn't be out of the picture. We were just really hoping to have a national one like the guys on our campus have DKE. We really admire the NPC ones because of how well established and run they are.

And we understand that this will take time to establish but somebodies got to start it so that it can exist eventually!

If the school has lifted its ban on secret societies, it may be coming around. The issue is, however, that the DKE chapter is not a fair comparison unless it is recognized by the university.

NIC fraternities can colonize and charter without university recognition; whereas such recognition is a prerequisite for NPC with very limited exceptions. The conferences are separate; they have different rules for colonizing. I don't see the harm in acquiring recruitment materials from NPC, as well as non-NPC national sororities.

Anyway, here is information on NPC expansion: https://www.npcwomen.org/college-pan...sion-info.aspx
