Even mulitcultural sororities still need a central purpose. So I thought it would be cool to start a writers GLO. The music one here is really tight knit and I want something like that. A writers sorority would allow for cultural diversity and at the same time, everyone would have something in common. That is why I want to start a writers sorority.

It's an interesting idea, but how big is the market at your school for writing? Do you have a large creative writing/literature program? You're going to want to recruit as many members as you can, so make sure the interest is there before starting from scratch.
Also, I encourage you to check out Sigma Tau Delta, the honors English society. It's technically an honor society -- not a social fraternity -- but many times honor fraternities have lots of activities like parties and philanthropy projects. If you have a chapter at your school maybe you can think about joining, or ask the chair of the English department about what you can do to start up a chapter if you don't already have one.
