Come on, guys. He wants to be SPOON FED this information!

To the OP, if searching Greekchat for similar topics is too much work for you to do, I highly doubt that you'll be able to handle all the effort necessary to start your own fraternity.

Okay - in all seriousness:

1- Are you on a campus that has fraternities?

2- If the answer to #1 is yes: Are you wanting to colonize an existing fraternity or begin a whole-brand-new-never-been-one-in-existance fraternity? If the answer to the last section is yes, then why?

3- If the answer to #1 is no: Are fraternities allowed on your campus and have you checked with the administration?

Yes, we have had threads about this, but give us more information. I don't walk into my boss's office and say "Gee, I want to start a club." I walk in and say, "I would like to start a club. Here's the reasons why I feel it should exist, why it hasn't existed before, etc."

are you always a jerk or did it just happen!

Is that a question?

Now we'll be falling over ourselves to help you. :rolleyes:

Well Knight Shadow the only one that has tried to help me is Lanesig

That made my brain hurt :(


If your campus doesn't allow fraternities, you need to talk to your administration to find out why or if they're open to the possibility.

And hopefully, your purpose is more than "hanging out." If that's all your guys are about, you can make a social club or something. Everything doesn't HAVE to be a fraternity.

I guess we're reading two different threads then:

And like OTW said, if it's too much work for you to search the forum, you're in for a rude awakening if you end up creating this organization.

finally thanks.... our group started with guys they dont have role models or fathers or whatever.... we have to give back to the community, there is alot of stuff we would love to do... and no just not hanging out. but we do.. do a lot of that too.

Finally, we're getting somewhere.

What other things would you bring to the community? What kind of activities would you participate in?

You may think we're picking you apart, but these are questions you'll be asked by administration and potential members.
