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?



Thanks so much everyone! I'm new to all this (no family is greek life at all).

Starting a sorority seems like a lot of work, and if you decide to go through with the process good luck. I just wanted to add my 2 cents and let you know that formal recruitment isn't for everyone. I graduated from a SEC school where 75% of the student body is greek! There are a number of girls who joined my sorority, during the spring (informal recruitment) throughout my years in college. There is a chance that some girls that were extended bids in the fall may drop, so I would recommend you get to know several girls form different houses, and consider informal recruitment. The best way to meet greeks is to get involved on campus! Many greeks are involved in a number of clubs and organizations throughout campus.
