A big thank you to everyone who has responded! It makes more sense now!
But I just have one more question. DSTbrat said that it allows you to expand to other campuses. But I thought that all national sororities were allowed to expand. Is incorporation kind of like having a national office? But I know that the BGLO's have national offices too.
Thanks to everyone who can clear this up for me! I guess I just don't really understand what "incorporation" consists of. I remember reading in one of the other posts that AKA was founded in 1908 but wasn't uncorporated until a few years later (please excuse me if I have that info wrong!). Why didn't they (and any others) incorporate right away? Were there other sororities that attempted to copy the originals (like what AKAtude was explaining)? Have they lasted through the years or were they forced to disband?
Again, sorry for not knowing too much and asking so many questions! I hope my questions were clear.
Thanks!
