starting a local

[mckid]

First I just want to thank everyone on this site. I'm finding it very helpful to my research. My college has no greek at the moment and a group is slowly working on changing that, but the question i have for anyone of you, is that besides the college administration and the rest of the school, is there any other orgainization that we have to be acknowledged by to be considered legitimate if we are a brand new local sorority or frat? If we're going to do this, we want to make sure we're doing it right.

Also... I know that all the rituals of a sorority or frat is secret so I'm not asking for anyone to reveal theirs, but we're having a hard time coming up with our own, is there any advice you could give us on that subject? Thanks again.
