Should the national organization tell the group the answers to the last two questions? I could not imagine joining an organization without knowing these two things upfront. I find it kind of old that KBG is not telling the group these things. With regards to having to spend $10,000ish to cover the cost of colonization, well that would turn me off right away. I've been looking at engineering sororities and learning about the process of colonizing a group of one of those three organizations and have never heard of having to pay to get the sorority to colonize.
I did read the expansion guide on KBG website ( hey I've been snowed in for three days now). I find it interesting that a group would require so many specific things. Like paying for hotel for 6 officers, airfair ect, IDK it just seems weird to me and if I was in the OPs shoes I would be weirded out by all the money requirements.

Are there any other sororities that are not part of the NPC that are not a major based or religious based group?

I would not interpret the OP's "looking into" as thinking that anyone from KBG has been in touch with anyone in her group, officially or non-officially. I mean I'm "looking into" new carpet for my rec room but that doesn't mean 1-800-588-2300 EMPIRE (today) has their truck pulled up outside my door.

And pretty much every sorority has a colonization fee.

Thanks for getting the jingle stuck in my head.

Nice analogy. I'm having visions of the old man with the glasses, and yes that jingle is stuck in my head.

I was under the impression that the OP's local sorority and KBG were already in communication with each other. But I could have made a mistake in my impressions.

And I guess I learn something new everyday.

NPHC. Service sororities. Locals.

I can't think of any other national, non-special interest sororities that aren't council affiliated.

Edit: Wikipedia has a list that might be helpful.

I also wanted to add that Beta Sigma Phi is not based on religion or major. That might be something of interest to the OP as BSP has some college campus chapters.
