It sounds like you used Alpha Xi Delta as a launching point with the light blue and yellow, and is a good transition from our modification of Kappa's colors of light blue and dark blue, and our teddy bear. So will your badge be something similar in shape to a quill or a key? Arrow is taken, and cricket bat probably isn't appropriate. HA!

More please! This sounds like a fascinating process, to me anyway.

Yes, GLO stands for Greek Letter Organization. I think what KKGCaroline was asking is whether there are women at your school -- and outside the 22 women you already have -- who will want to join so that the sorority can grow and continue after the 22 of you are gone.

As far as officers, it all depends on what you think you need. I think it's safe to say that most GLOs also probably have a warden or sergeant at arms, a historian, an alumni/ae secretary and an officer in charge of the education of pledges/new members.

Tri Sigma's Eta Mu chapter was chartered in Mannheim, Germany in 2003, but closed a few years later because of the University's closure. It's possible that more orgs. will take the chance (and I hope we will have it again, too!).

Believe it or not I didn't even know Alpha Xi Delta's colours were blue and yellow :)

And MystiCat... there are lots of women in the years below us (I suppose grades in America???) who are interested in joining once they reach our year. I don't think we'll have a problem with getting new members, as long as we advertise properly and give people a reason to want to join.

I find your process so interesting!
I would also recommend having a recruitment (rush) chair.
So women can only join once they reach a certain year in university?

Yes at the moment. Our headteacher has given us permission to start our sorority but she is a bit concerned about the maturity of the girls I think so she has put an age limit on it until we can show that this will work. And it will work :)

^^ Yep :)

So, I'll bite...

How old are you, and what's the lower age limit the headteacher has imposed?

Just visited OP's blog (she put the address in her GC profile), its all about her school & completing her GCSE's.

GCSE's are exams that kids over here do at 15-16 years old at high school, before moving onto college (16-18), and then university (18+)

My guess is she is about 15 years old......

I'm 19. Our college starts at 18 (not including early orientation) so the head has said girls need to have gotten through their first year before joining, get their studies sorted first.

college does not start at 16 in every case. I went onto 6th form (A levels) before college

taken from your blog:

"" So as of tomorrow I am officially a year 11. ""
dated - Thursday, 2 September 2010

Forgive me if I am wrong but year 11 is normally the last year of high school in England, therefore you should be 15-16 year of age....

sound you've got a lovely thing going. Best of luck starting the sorority, I hope all goes well.

Oh I see where you got confused, by my blog. I basically went from secondary education to A levels to college but it is a specialist college for acting, not a university. In our specialist college there is a year 11, 12 and 13 which can be confusing because in sixth form there is also a year 12 and 13. Sorry for that

But what about this post?
