There are some good threads here about starting an interest group. As ASTalumna06 said above, there is a LOT that goes into starting a new chapter on any campus. But if you don't have a group of women who also feel that there is need for a new sorority on campus, then your efforts are moot.
While still keeping anonymous, maybe you could share with us if your school already has a Greek system, if it has more or fewer than say 5 chapters and if they have any sort of housing. Once there are houses involved you enter a whole new realm of difficulty. Also, if your school has local sororities that you want to take national, that is a whole different kettle of fish.
If you are talking about a school with a large established Greek system and you think Tri Sigma would be the perfect next addition, frankly your opinion counts for squat. If, for instance, you think Tri Sigma should expand to Alabama, you can stop right now. They would already have considered it and for whatever reason have decided not to. But Greek systems around the country ARE expanding so it's not like you have no chance. I would probably just open your options to include any NPC sorority.
Start by talking to your campus Greek advisor and find out what the possibilities are for expansion. Spending a few minutes getting a grip on the campus culture and openness to growth should either give you hope or put a nail in that coffin. Without his/her support, nothing is happening.
