Founderitis-wanting to found their own organization
essentially

I'm sure you will argue that the definition includes elements to eliminate your founders and highlight qualities of the OP or similar aspirants, but since this is not a real word (obviously), this response doesn't matter

Surely you can agree that some people you have deemed to have founderitis have become successful in their endeavor

Again -- shut up.

I find it troubling that you have such little regard for the intrepid men and women that founded our organizations. I was going to respond further, but k_s has pretty much summed it up:

Or is it solely limited to creating your own GLO with its own symbols, rituals, etc?
I typically think of founderitis as a new GLO, but I think your first example can also be applicable.

Obviously, not everyone who starts a new chapter of an existing GLO suffers from founderitis - there is often a need for a new chapter in that particular Greek Community. I think founderitis applies more to new organizations because there are very few needs that existing GLOs don't already fulfill, and their are various avenues to attain membership beyond college.

I thought you didn't have to create the entire organization to be a founder? For example, there are 10 different sorority at a campus but someone wants to bring another NPC chapter to said campus without investigating the current sororities since she wants to found a new chapter...she has founderitis because she just wants to make a new organization without looking at alternatives or going through recruitment
This is actually categorized in the DSM-IV as "I'm Too Good For Those Bitches-Itis."

Men can also suffer from this but the symptoms are typically milder.

"I" when it should be "We" = Founderitis.
We have a WINNAR!

And i'm SO DEAD at the internet sleuthing! I'm cracking up when i should be cleanin up this apartment. So sad i missed this thread.

This is kind of late, but I am in Alpha Chi Omega and our focus is already on support victims of Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse. That's our philanthropy. Might i suggest that instead of going through the trouble of starting a WHOLE new sorority, why don't you make it where you help organizations that are already formed. I think it'd be a little easier on your part but it is a wonderful idea! But us that are already formed would like some help too! :)
