You are going about it the wrong way. If you are really interested in starting a new chapter you need to...

1. Contact you national organization and try to get them involved. For example Sigma Nu has a chapter building team that goes around the country where there is interest helping set up new chapters. And can help you find some other Alumni in your area that can help you.

2. Dont try recruiting strangers right off. Start with your friends and any acquantinances you have on campus. Try to find other members of your fraternity that may have transferred to your current school.

3. Definitely see the greek affairs office at get their help and advice.

4. Spend some time and money on flyers and hold interest meeting on campus.
Example:
"A select group of men at (insert college name here) will have the opportunity to create an entirely new fraternity experience- something truly unique and different. These outstanding individuals will shape what they believe fraternity should be. (insert fraternity name here) is coming to campus."

Picture of your Fraternity Crest and Date, Time, Location of interest meeting.

5. Run the same flyer in the school paper as an ad.

6. At some point you will have to contact IFC to get colony status.

Great starting points.
