Listen to violetpretty. And if there aren't sororities on your campus or not enough sororities on campus then working with an existing NPC or other national sorority is going to work out much better for you. Do a search here for colonies, expansion, or locals. There are some threads here about locals colonizing into national groups. There is more than one way to become part of an NPC group and starting as a local is one of them. If you wanted to do that, you would most definitely need to start with your own symbols, rituals, etc.
Unless you have some strong tie to an original founder of one of those defunct sororities that didn't get absorbed, I wouldn't involve yourself in that mess. If you're going to spend that kind of effort and MONEY lawyering up, you might as well do the work to find an NPC, NPHC or PHC sorority that is already in existence that fits your goals. Just because it's been defunct for 50 or 75 years doesn't mean there wouldn't be someone attacking you for stealing their ideas.
