I was wondering exactly how that works. Also, after visiting a bunch of m.c. sororities, I saw they all had Inc. after them. How does it all work?
In Florida, you file through our website at www.sunbiz.org. I did it for my business and it was quick and easy. I'm sure you can do the same in Georgia if you contact whichever government agency is responsible for incorporations.

As far as going national goes, I think there is general consensus that you should have at least two chapters established to be considered national. I knew of three locally established Asian American organizations in Georgia who've done well. A local sorority here in Gainesville has done well too.

Oh, and you may want to incoroporate as a Non-Profit... 501c3... something like that. Don't do a Scorp, Ccorp, LLP, or LLC.

Two Lambda Psi Delta Ladies that I met in Orlando a few weeks ago were officers in it (President and VP I think).

I will be traveling to Philadephia this weekend to discuss establishing an National Asian Pacific American Greek Association... interesting stuff

For going national, wouldn't the two chapters need to be in separate areas? For example, if the alpha chapter is at a neighboring city to beta chapter, I don't think that would be considered national.

Also, filing for incorporation does not mean the organization is tax-exempt. You should check with your state's Secretary of State office for full details.

How do you have a "tradition" of stepping, if your org isn't even a year old? :confused:

Anybody else as confused as I am?
