Haha, before I read throughly all the posts (I just skimmed through it

)
Most important, IMO, is to have a solid interest group (prefer a fairly large one) that you can trust and you feel that would stick with you thick or thin to the end. I and a few friends tried to charter this one sorority to our campus, however there was not enough girls interested enough to charter one and sadly enough, it failed.
Good luck
