Some people chose to begin an organization for the sole purpose that a previous membership was not exactly what they thought it would be, and many of these groups are nationally and internationally recognized. I will honestly say that at my university I dont see any differences between the three NPC sororities here, beyond the rituals they may have. Perhaps for the OP she is viewing something similar in the community... So by forming a new organization she will break away from what seems to be a negative pattern.

I agree that many organizations share a common goal, but are not carbon copies of each other. Brother/sisterhood, academics, leadership, community advancement -- all of these are things that better organizations' members and their respective communities. From the OP's posts, it seems like this group just wants to be a friendship club that uses Greek letters. There's nothing wrong with associating yourself with a group, but not every group needs to be a GLO.

Knight Shadow, I was wondering if you could tell me your personal opinion of what you think seperates a social club from greek life, beyond the rituals of brother or sisterhood??
The social clubs that I've been involved with and have come in contact with aren't as "deep" as fraternities and sororities.
