and what do they Greek letters/names ACTUALLY mean to the sorority/fraternity?
what are some ideas of basis for a sorority? (ex: reasons for starting it)
Any help would be great! thanks.

national affiliation means a chapter of a sorority is part of a national organization and not a "local" or "regional". "Local" meaning it is the only chapter of that sorority, "regional" meaning there are two or more chapters in a geographic area.
"National" implies there are chapters across the U.S.
and what do they Greek letters/names ACTUALLY mean to the sorority/fraternity?
Most meanings of the letters are only known to the members themselves and you will likely not get many answers regarding this.

if you do not know why you want to start a sorority, I'm not sure why you are wanting to start one in the first place?
