Here's how it works. Expansion is handled between NPC (the national governing body of all Panhellenic sororities) and the schools themselves. These schools announced in a National Panhellenic Conference bulletin that they are open for expansion (something that has to be determined by the school and its Greek Life staff),meaning that they are ready for a new sorority on their campus (for whatever reason).

Sororities that might be interested in these schools will send info packets about their sorority to the school's Panhellenic. There are 26 NPC sororities, so that makes for alot of packets if they ALL choose to submit one. From those info packets and other info, the school then chooses a few of the sororities (like 2-4) that they are interested in to come to the school and make presentations.

National staff of each chosen group will come to the school and present in front of the Panhellenic groups on campus about their particular sorority. After presentations, a vote is taken to see which sorority wil be invited to come to that school (colonize). Depending on the campus and other factors, schools will sometimes select 2 groups to colonize.
