First of all Sweetie, GO POKES! (Oklahoma State alum here!)
Open for expansion means that the Panhellenic Assocation on campus has voted to expand (add a sorority.). Once a campus is open, all groups not presently on campus can evaluate the situation, and if interested will submit packets of information to the Panhellenic at that school. Panhellenic (or a smaller committee) will review the submitted packets and choose a group of finalists - usually 3 or 4 groups - to make presentations. Panhellenic will attend the presentations and vote on which sorority to invite to colonize.
Usually expansion is considered when the groups on campus are too large, or perhaps many PNMs are dropping out of recruitment because they are unhappy with their remaining choices in recruitment (they would rather not be greek than pledge certain groups.) A lot of other factors may play into the decision as well.
The important thing to note is that the campus must vote to expand before any group can consider colonizing. The ball is in Texas A&M's court.
