Starting a Chapter?
 
I got a bid from a sorority in the spring while I was still at the original school I wanted to go to (and was enrolled in). I needed to leave in an emergency situation and now cannot afford to return to that school. The school I am planning on transferring to does not have the sorority I got a bid for, but I really want to bring what that house has to offer to the school.

How do I start a chapter?

First off the school needs to be open for expansion. If it isn't, nothing you do is getting your chapter in.

You don't just 'bring' a sorority to a campus. There has to be a need for a new sorority on campus, the sorority you want needs to even be interested in your new campus, and the existing sororities on campus will be the ones to decide.

It would really be in your best interest, if you want to be Greek, to see what the chapters who are ALREADY at your new school have to offer.

I can't think of anything that has more crash and burn potential than a transfer student with no ties to a sorority except for an expired bid trying to start a new chapter before she even knows what's going on at the school. It would be one thing if you were an initiated member and unable to rerush. But you're not.

I didn't think about that...

Uhh...you're asking women to start a new chapter of your fraternity?

FAIL.

ETA: Why is your fraternity song "Colt 45"?

Academics will be crutual in our pledge process!

There is a reason why colt 45 is our song and we have kept that between the fraternity. I do agree with you that it sounds rediculous but when you know the story you would understand. Academics is crutual at our school due to the huge dropout that occurs here at the college and the amount of kids that fail

*snicker*

Anyway, you should probably get a feel for the boards before hocking your organization on everyone. Asking women to join your fraternity makes you look silly.

Let me spell it out. (Get it?)

I'm not sure what that word is you're using that starts with a C and has the Us in it, but if you mean "important" or "vital," the word you want to use is CRUCIAL.

I guess academics isn't as crucial as they say it is.
