Corina,
I have been reading this thread and find your dedication amazing. I am an alumni of a local sorority in Boston, MA that has been around for 100 years, so know that starting a local and keeping it up can be done!
Just know that starting a sorority is an amazing challenge and whether you stay local or end up going national, best of luck. It can be done...
Congrats and if you need ANY advice, please feel free to email me!!! (Vixenradio@aol.com). Becoming a sister of Kappa Gamma Chi was one of the best things I have ever done! Good luck with everything and congrats on all the hard work!!! Amazing!
