I would keep this in mind:

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.

Wellllllllllll, actually, I know what you mean but that can vary by organization-type. I joined an organization. My "love as an outsider" came before I knew the people.

Based on the rest of her post, I think she means in the beginning stages.

This. To illustrate, Psi Upsilon was founded when 4 men happened to meet one day and get into a deep conversation. They enjoyed the experience so much they started to meet weekly to share companionship.

Beginning stages of what, finding other founders to start this sorority? Finding the first set of applicants for membership?

At the same time, there are organizations that begin because one person pushed forward with an idea and others were enamored with the organization itself.

One thing I've wondered is if you've considered NPC or NPHC sororities that are not focused on lesbians. You might find them more welcoming of you than you'd think, particularly if you're a joiner, leader, etc. You mentioned some reasons why you weren't happy with the existing lesbian sororities (and I will admit to 100% stupitude on that subject), but you didn't mention if you've considered "straight" sororities. I think it is less common to find gay women in sororities than it is for gay men in fraternities, but it still exists. And you might really like the structure they provide.

But please don't read this as me telling you NPC is the only way to go. I'm just saying it may fit your criteria more than you think.

Why does it have to be a sorority? What's wrong with a club or organization?

Hell, it could be a diary. This seems to center around her.

Facebook fan page, or a blog perhaps?

"And please, please, please don’t let the fact that Ms. Carol is a lesbian put you off to her. You know how you all think there are two kinds of lesbians? There’s the kind on Cinemax that get it on and are hot, and there’s the mean kind? Well, Ms. Carol is neither of those."

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.
