Kenyon no longer allows local groups to form; so, if 60% of the pnms dropped out or did not get a bid and are still interested in being in Greek Life, this is their only option.

I hope my sorority does well and helps to give PNMs more options.

What in the world?! If they have a 60% drop rate, the solution to their problems isn't to add a new sorority.

They probably want to join nationals, not locals, and there is only national sorority on campus. It also sounds like the locals want to stay that way.

That's a great point and probably the most likely scenario. It's the way they reported it that sounds odd to me. The article, and/or the student life director to whom the information was attributed, conveniently ignores explaining why the students want a new chapter.
