Starting a local is a lot of work and effort, and in the end-- you are only at college for 4 years. You will get a lot more out of joining and being a part of established activities, especially when as an upperclassman your focus turns from social events to interships, grad school applications and paying the bills.
Good luck with whatever you decide. Just know going in that you're in for an uphill battle-- competing with existing sororities and campus organizations, one another's schedules, starting from scratch and trying to recruit and retain overprogrammed members who are busy with school, lives and other campus activities.

I dont agree with that "you are only at college for 4 years. You will get a lot more out of joining and being a part of established activities". I am a part of an NPHC sorority and we believe in sisterhood for life. We believe in being an active, productive member of your sorority for life. What kind of sisterhood is only serious for four years? Give me a break. If she wants to start a new sorority then that is her choice. Not everyone wants that NPC/CPC experience. Maybe what she is looking for is a true sisterhood that will last a lifetime and if so I applaud her on that.
