Maybe "secret society" style is the way to go.

I'm going to play devil's advocate for a moment... EE-BO makes some excellent points. However, depending on your campus and its policies regarding forming student organizations, you may encounter some difficulties in creating a fraternity/secret society, or an interest group with the purpose of joining up with an existing chapter or a recolonizing chapter. Some campuses may have a particular process for creating new student groups, especially fraternal organizations. If you are planning to be a single-sex group, there may be even more requirements and restrictions.
I highly advise you have a deep conversation with the Greek Life/Student Orgs professional staff at your campus. Find out what the requirements are, what you can do to expedite the process, what kind of resources are available and what kind of resources are necessary, but not available. Better to find out if it's possible and worth your time before getting too involved in the process.
