mckid, you could also look into some of the non-NPC sororities. They may be willing to start a city-wide group, especially if there are multiple colleges in the area. Otherwise, I would definitely look into the non-collegiate sororities. A few of them even have collegiate student chapters. Good-luck in all you do!

Good for you, McCallan. Me, too. Joining a GLO has been a great choice for a lot of us. But were you a founding member of a local fraternity with an administration who disapproved of your organization and took measures to prevent your organization from chartering and assembling?

Yes. I was part of a local group that started at a private university, where the administrators did not want to add any new groups to the existing social fraternities and sororities on campus.
It was a yearlong endeavor of meetings, research, and proposals. Greek life said no, director of student activities said no, the assist dean of student affairs said no, but finally we got to the VP of student affairs, who said YES!
It was a great learning experience and something that I am so glad I did. Just like real life, you have to be persistent to get through all the gatekeepers before reaching the real decision maker. And when you get to that decision maker, you have to be prepared to make your case.
