Around 1,600 girls rush for the 18 houses. And around 900 get the houses they want.
So, after going through the entire process I have decided to investigate starting a NEW sorority. I have around 7-10 girls that are interested.
A problem...
Almost all the sorority houses have filled their quota except one... what does that mean for starting another house?
Also, I have been wondering if starting a PHC sorority is easier or harder then starting a local chapter.
Thanks so much everyone! I'm new to all this (no family is greek life at all).

I am wondering, since 18 is a rather large number to "choose" from and I would guess that most people would wonder the same thing, is what characteristics are lacking from every one of the existing chapters, that you could not find a fit in any one of them?
And if you desire characteristics that are absent in any and all of the existing sororities, does it make sense that perhaps that social Greek life a la NPC) is not for you?
In which case, bringing a 19th NPC group would probably not suit you. Is it safe to assume that?
Or, are you disatisfied because you were not matched (I ask because you mentioned that all of the chapters but one are at quota)?
I am not sure what you mean by "starting a PHC sorority",(what is PHC??) but choosing X over Y because it is easier is definitely not the way to find a fit. You are sacrificing any number of things for the sake of convenience. I suggest thinking hard about what you want, because I am not sure you know what that is. (Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken.) Once you figure out what you want, you can look at organizations based on those needs/desires.
Without knowing what happened, or what you are looking for, it's hard for anyone to give you solid suggestions.
