Thank you for asking this question scpiano. Things are a little sticky around here since we have only 2 NPC sororities on campus. Last year, 12 girls decided to start a local sorority. We've been wanting to expand for years, but neither NPC sorority was anywhere near total (total was 40, and both were at about 30, but have been as low as 17).
What we found was that when the new local began, interest in recruitment went up. Unfortunately, it turned out that everyone became interested in the two NPC sororities, and both are near total (both were at -1 total, but because of graduating seniors, obviously, both are lower). The new local is struggling, however.
We've been told that if both NPC sororities are at total for 1 year, the local can petition to become a colony of another NPC sorority. Unfortunately, though, I'm not sure they'll make it through this next year, because their numbers are still low and a lot of their girls are juniors and seniors.
Which is a bummer, because in my opinion, we really need a third sorority (of any kind... local, NPC, whatever) in order to keep recruitment numbers up. When girls are only faced with 2 choices, they tend not to rush because of the lack of variety.
