What are some things that are the prime elements of every greek organization? I'm pretty sure we have a good idea, but we don't want to miss anything.
And lastly what aspects of our organization should never be told to non-members? Were all really confused about that.
Also I was wondering if locals ever got involved in stuff like Greek Week and step shows?

I dont understand how you were able to be a part of an org. that made no sense to you. What type of NME did you do before you crossed? ( you dont have to go into detail ) It seems that your original program lacked a little on organization and forming a bond between you and your ex? sorority sisters. Even tho you have crossed your own beta line I have to ask if you have a NME procedure. I think before you cross any more pledge classes that you and your girls should discuss some ground rules and laws that will uphold your org. I hope this helps in reference to some of the questions you asked:
Something that i feel is the most important in keeping your group together is establishing a strong sisterhood. This can be done in a number of ways that is unique to every organization. Sisterhood is what makes a sorority. You must also make sure that your members represent what your organization was founded on. Shared common intrests are a big help when establishing a group of this nature. I think that it is really important for all of your members to know what is expected of them and what they contribute to for the success of your organization.
Most of the ritual that sororities have is only known to its members- things like pledging, each group has its own, initiation ceremony is only known to the crossed members, selection process, your government and anything else that you feel should be kept sercret.
Things that might be important to share would be the reasons why you created such an organization to begin with. Your goals as an organization, can also be made public, in the sense of maybe community service. Being involved in Greek week depends on your school. I am a student at LaSalle and Local organizations do not participate in any Greek week activity but ask you Greek advisor about this!
Just remember that you must stay organized- write down everything and talk with your sisters.
