I feel as if I've typed this up so many times on greek chat I'm going blue in the face, but here it goes, yet again:
As someone who is a founding mother of a NATIONAL sorority in Canada (Alpha Pi Phi, founded 2009, 3 collegiate chapters in Ottawa, St. Catherine's and Kingston, Ont.) starting a new organization, be it trying to get another NPC on campus (and even then, all THAT has to go through NPC), local, etc. is A LOT of work. A Ton. As in, taking an overload of two classes would probably be easier than starting a new sorority worth its salt.
It's also very expensive. Who's going to fund recruitment? The chapter that has yet to exist? Everything costs money, and I think that's something a lot of people who come onto Greek Chat with the intentions of starting a new org don't think about.
The point is it is going to requite copious amounts of time, energy, money and, oh, FRIENDS! It's not impossible, but if you want to do it PROPERLY, and actually found something to be proud of that still EXISTS years to come, it's going to be hard work and a long swim upstream.
