This usually happens with groups that are religious interest or that have another sort of vested interest (i.e. 3 of the people in the interest group are members of ABC who transferred from another college and they're trying to start a new ABC chapter).

I mean if a group is calling themselves Epsilon Phi Alpha and they're all Jewish, any other NPC is probably going to get out of the way, no matter how desirable the campus is, because it's obvious what the group is looking for. If all a group can say about why they want a certain sorority is what the OP has outlined in his original post, that's usually not enough to 1) make other NPCs get out of the way or 2) impress the group they want enough to make them overlook any questions or issues they might have with the IG/college panhellenic/campus in general.

In other words, pinning all your hopes on one NPC is counterproductive and stupid. A lot of times women think "XYZ is at Big State U. If we bring XYZ here to Moo Cow College, it will create the kind of Greek life they have at Big State U." It just doesn't work that way.
