Founding a new chapter
 

I am currently attending an out of state school and am initiated in a sorority that I absolutely love, but I'm not sure I can afford to attend my current university next year. My top school that I'm looking at doesn't have a chapter of my current sorority and I was wondering if it would be worth it to look into founding a new chapter, how much work it would be, what it would require, if it would be worth it to pursue this or if the chapter would even be established before I graduate. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with founding a new chapter and what their opinions are on the situation. I really love all my sisters, our philanthropies, the entire Greek life experience and I really don't want to lose that just because I can't afford the school where my original chapter is.

It really doesn't work this way. Your new campus would need to be open for extension for a new sorority to colonize. After that, there is an established procedure for selecting a new group. There are exceptions to this procedure, but they are few and far between.

I transferred as an undergrad and had to take early alumna status. I know how you feel.
