Realistically, I doubt it. If you do a search for "
start sorority," "
start fraternity," "
start chapter,"
starting sorority," "
starting fraternity" or "
starting chapter" in thread titles, you'll get some 1800+ hits (posts, not threads, and there is overlap in the searches).
As we often say here, "the Search function is your friend," but the typical person who comes here looking to start a new fraternity or sorority -- whether a local or a chapter -- doesn't do a search but rather posts a new thread and gets relevant answers in that thread. Often, these posters come here wanting to know how to start a chapter of a particular GLO. (See
this from this past April, for example.) Sometimes they want to start Greek life on a campus with none, sometimes just they want a new option. Sometimes their reasons are valid, sometimes not so much.
I'm not in any way trying to say we shouldn't be as helpful as we can be in providing the kind of information you describe as appropriate. You're quite right about that. I'm just saying that it's already happening, and I doubt that the way it's happening is likely to change, even if we try to say "This thread is the place to ask about starting a new GLO."
