Are you going to try to have exchanges with other sororities? You should serenade them with "Let's Give 'Em Somethin' to Talk About".

You have a mascot and everything so, honestly, why are you here asking questions? Have you not researched the many lesbian-based sororities already? Have you not contacted these sororities and/or your college to see the steps that "you" would need to take? As a member of the Internet generation, you have so many tools for information in front of you and Greekchat is one of the laziest tools that you could use.

I think the issue is that OP isn't educated on the other sororities and hasn't thought about chartering a chapter of an existing sorority. I also think that the OP is self-centered to the extent that she wants something that's about her and wants to be able to control everything. That may also factor into how she receives the existing sororities that are not sexual orientation-based.

Actualy, i've researched alot. greekchat is the last place i've visited and decided to ask. Yes, i've researched other sororities. I'm not going into this blind, nor am i a kid. I know what steps to take. I just thought that others could have thoughts that could help, maybe i had missed something. I was wrong, only a couple of poeple actually helped by answering my question and helping.

People join people, not organizations. The love for an organization and things that help set the organization apart such as a crest, colors, badges, letters, ritual, mottos, purpose, philanthropy, etc. comes later.

I wish you luck in your endeavors.

Thanks you

That's an option. I'll consider a club or organization.

Thanks

Have you checked out GAMMA RHO LAMBDA? They have only been around for a few years but are growing at a good rate and the organizations sounds like it meets whats you are looking for. just know that it takes more than just a person with an idea to get a sorority going. if you need help on stuff you can just message me.

femm_runner, I'd have to agree with the above posters that unless you're able to confidently answer all the questions posed, it's very unlikely your sorority will succeed.

Here's the thing: while you may say you want to do something in a certain way, getting it to happen in reality is much more difficult. You'll have people that don't necessarily agree with the rules, and if you take an iron fist instead of address the issues appropriately, you'll no sorority at all. Also, symbols and rituals are plain stupid if there's no meaning behind them. If you just arbitrarily assign meaning instead of carefully forming them by group consensus, they might not actually be meaningful enough to last. Not to mention, it's a really hard uphill battle without the knowledge and resources that an existing organization has.

I say this since I was part of the founding class of a chapter of a national fraternity. Even with national headquarters and a bunch of alumni, which have greatly helped us stay afloat, we have still made several stupid mistakes because we didn't have the knowledge or resources directly within our (new) organization.

So, I'd like you to think it over. You don't just form a sorority and then get people to join. You first develop sisterhood bonds and then call it a sorority when it is one. Even then, you'll have to face several challenges, and the chances of it staying afloat are still small.

At least Dr. Phil's comeback was the same day, not 4+ months later.
