A couple of suggestions:

1. Don't copy ANYTHING from another sorority if you wanted to be respected. It will look like you're a "wannabe" and if you can't come up with things on your own, people will wonder why you don't just join the sorority you borrowed it from. If you have a unique idea for a sorority, you should come up with a unique motto/quote/ect.

2. I love Legally Blonde as well, but seriously. I mean anyone who has seen that movie is so not going to take you seriously. That's not the way you want to come on the scene.

3. I seriously suggest you look at ALL the options out there before you start another organization. Between NPC, NPHC, Multicultural Sororities, Latina, Asian, ect. organizations, there are over 200 sororities already in existance. I know that you have ideals that you'd like to impart on your campus and it would be easier and you would have way more support nationally if you joined a national. I just say this because lately, there have been new organizations starting almost monthly and a lot of them seem to either 1) fold on themselves within a year or two or 2) have copied some of their ritual, symbols, ect. from another organization (real or fictional).

4. Do a google search. There is already a sorority called Delta Nu Delta that was founded at West Texas A&M University just 3 years ago. If you are going to start a new sorority, I really really suggest looking at Baird's which is a book that lists sororities and fraternities and also searching the internet. Come up with something that is creative and represents you.

Hopefully this helps. PM me if you want.
