And yes I said weeks. About 16 to be exact.... maybe I should have said months. Sorry
Do you have a website which outlines your goals, philanthropy, vision, intent? Have you made any partnerships and done the community work yourselves (supporting your philanthropy) to be able to ask others to join you? Spend time doing the work first and then recruit. People don't want to join anything they perceive as not legit or that doesn't have a good foundation for longevity. And I agree, there are so many orgs out there that it's going to be hard for them to expand at the rate they would like. You have orgs that have never gotten beyond a few chapters because of this. Try researching some of the other orgs out there first; you may be able to help them expand and improve upon what they're offering if you and your friends have great ideas.

And as far as catering to women that can't afford sorority membership or don't have degrees, both Sigma Gamma Rho and Zeta Phi Beta address that issue with our affiliate organizations for non-degreed women. While it's true that some women probably want to be part of something they can actually call a sorority, there are others that want the stability of being connected to a larger organization while still having their own sisterhood.
