Any Founders Out There???
 

Hey I was wondering if any of you all started your GLO from the ground up? If so I was wondering if you want to share your experiences for others who are starting/re-colonizing a GLO this fall.

Would helping recharter a house that was once expelled count?

I'm a Founder!
 

I'm one of 6 founders for our Charter at Humboldt State University. If all goes well, we'll be going up for chapter in October!

YAY! :D

I'm a chapter founder. I was a member of a local sorority that went national... lots of hard work (esp. since we had 10 members and the other sororities had 90-100), but we pulled off a major fundraising event, rushed in an awesome fall new member class (growing to 22 total members), and were chartered within a year of becoming a colony. Signing that charter was sweet :)

Ha Braggin rites! I founded the Local BX!

40 % from Lamar, Mo homies ( Home of HS Truman ), 40 % kicked out of other Orgs!

20 % didnt know anybetter and were not wanted by anyother Houses!

Well that was back in 1965! Hell before many of you were born!:) We were colonized in 1966 and chartered in 1969 with LXA!!!!

If you did, be proud of what you did and it dont happen to much!

it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to follow through to the end! The rewards are the most fantastic in the world to go back and see what has come to fruitation!:cool:

I am one of the founding fathers of the FIJI colony at The University of Toledo. We are hoping to charter this upcomming spring 2003.

I'm also a charter member of my chapter, Zeta Tau at Georgia State.

I along with 17 other beautiful ladies chartered our chapter on May 8, 2000.

I'm so proud to be a charter!

I personally am not, but my boyfriend is a chapter founder of the Kappa Omega chapter of PiKA (U of Wisconsin -Whitewater)

I'm a charter member. :cool:

I am a founder of the Delta Nu Chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau National sorority at Beloit College in Wisconsin!....we were given our charter in April of 1999 and the chapter is still going strong! It was a great experience!

My grand-big was one of the charter members of my sorority!

They went from colony to chapter in only one semester!

She said it was hard work, but well worth it to see how we have blossomed from 9 charter members to 70 actives and 30 alumna since 2000!

I'm a charter member of a local sorority that went national last fall. My name is even on the charter, which I think is just too cool! Anyway, we went through a lot of work last year, but it was so worth it and I'm very proud of how much we have accomplished in becoming a national chapter.

I am a charter member of my chapter. I was in the 2nd pledge class on my local which was cool too. As others have said it was pretty cool to sign the charter. :) It took us a year to affiliate with a national and on March 3, 2002 we colonized with ASA.

I'm a founding father of the Mu Tau Chapter of Sigma Nu... Our 272nd chapter.

Good luck to all!

HI there,
I was a founding sister for my chapter at CSUDH. We started from the ground up and became the first NPC sorority on campus. It was a lot of hard work but I believe it was one of the best experiences of my life.

Founding Sister of the Gamma Omega Chapter of Delta Delta Delta
1st pledge class of a local Alpha Theta Phi (only cause I didn't know they were forming a group!!)

It was awesome- esp having the national pres/executive board act as your pres for initation, and all the sisters who didn't know us, but still came to help us initate.
I don't know about anyone else's group, but we had trouble getting recognized at my school- so my best advice would be to stick together as a group, stand your ground, and don't let anyone tell you "give up- it won't happen".

I was one of the Founding Sisters of my sorority and our very first Alumna. Founded November 21, 1995!!!

me too!
 

I am a charter member of the Theta Tau chapter of Alpha Phi at RPI.

I went onto be the colony supervisor for the Iota Delta Chapter at University of Rhode Island...meaning I have signed two chapter charters!

I'm a founding member of the University of Alaska, Anchorage colony of Alpha Sigma Alpha. We're hoping to sign our charter in November. If we do, we will have gotten our chapterhood faster than any other GLO on campus! :D

i've been lurking this site for a loooong time now, but when i saw this topic i had to reply.

i'm a founder for my sorority; i'm assuming that when i say founder i don't mean it the same way as i suppose a national GLO would, meaning i didn't charter a group... we really did start from the beginning. without giving away the name of it, or where i go to school, i do have to say that it's an awesome feeling when the first class became my sisters. also, knowing that in the future if/when we expand future sisters and chapters will always know my name. it's a lot of hard work but i feel that all of it pays off, especially the respect i get from other greek orgs.

Time and effort
 

I am a charter member of my undergrad chapter at Texas A&M, Lambda Lambda. It took time and effort to get to charter status, but it was well worth it!!!

I'm a founding sister of the delta zeta chapter of sigma delta tau at rutgers camden. it was one of the best experiences of my life. we are getting ready to rush our beta class after a very succesful alpha class!!!! it was a lot of hard work and it took us a year and a half to get chartered but after we did....it was amazing. those girls have gotten me through the hardest year of my life and i would do anything for them!!! if you still need some advice....feel free to im me on aim...bailey25mb. i went through it all so i can give you some advice.

I'm a chapter founder of Zeta Sigma Chi Multicultural Sorority, Inc., Epsilon Chapter. It feels good to be a Founder:D

My chapter recolonized in 2001 (my freshman year) and I was a "founding" member of our chapter...the second time around. It's very cool though, we have our original charter from a way long time ago and our new charter from January 2002 that I and all the others girls signed. It was a very hard but awesome and fufilling experience and I wouldn't have traded it for anything. :)

I was a founder for the Theta Mu Chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma. We were installed Dec 1994 after over a year of hard work. It was a great experience. We had not been a local chapter beforehand, so we had lots of work to do.

It is really exciting to see the chapter now, staying strong and yet 10 years younger then us.

Many of the founders are still tight and hang out together, stand for each other as bridesmaids, etc. One of my founding sisters is hosting my baby-shower for me.

I am a founding sister of my chapter! My colony came in three waves, the first girls were from the spring of 2002, second (my class) from the fall of 2002, and the third from the spring of 2003 and all 50 of us signed the charter. It was awesome because the first to classes instead of having bigs and littles we have twins, so I have a twin and a little! Its awesome. I agree though, its a lot of hard work because no one knows what there office or job really entails because there is no one to watch and look up to. But my installation was amazing, I am the historian and chaplain, so I got to say Grace and the creed with our national president right next to me, its was incredible, it has made the whole sorority experience so much more meaninful for me.

:D :) ;) :cool:
