Starting a Sorority
 

I did see a post sort of like this, but it was old and my situation dose differ some. I had to say that so no one would be mad! =D

Hello!
My name is Amber and I am a freshman at Valley City State University. My university is very small! We used to have two fraternity's, but they are no longer around that I have seen. I really want to start a sorority but I have no idea where to start! I am hoping that I can receive some guidance! Thank you for your time.

Check out the threads at the bottom of this page (under "Similar Threads"). Or check out this stickied thread: Before You Found a New Sorority.

Your question has been asked many times, and the answers are threads like these.

ETA: According to your school's website, you already have two local sororities.

And one of those sororities is called the "Philomanthian society." :rolleyes:

In the list it is, but that appears to be a typo. If you look at the link for the society itself, it's Philomathian. ('Course, that's still not quite "Philomathean.")

I know we all think of Phi Mu in connection with Philomathean, but many schools have had Philomathean societies over the years. Typically, they were/are literary or debating societies. The Philomathean Society of the University of Pennsylvania, founded in 1813, is the oldest continually-existing literary society in the country. UVA's Philomathean was founded in 1849. Phillips Academy's Philomathean Society, founded in 1825, is the oldest high school debating society in the country.

And at this school:
None of the other sororities or fraternities listed appear to have functioning sites though.

The mascot is Sweetpea the Skunk?

Yes, yes it is. I assume that's a more recent addition.
