While not the right answer at most schools, you may have better luck talking to the Student Government. While their by-laws may be more complex than those for my *National* Fraternity, http://jstop.jjay.cuny.edu/docs/Char...ent%202008.pdf , my guess is that if you can succeed in getting a student organization approved there, that it might be the first and most focused step...

(The Student Government bylaws definitely look like they've been done by pre-law and law students).

However according to Wikipedia "John Jay College is considered a "commuter college"; all students reside at home." That gives a *very* different environment for Fraternities and Sororities.
The psychology honorary is not an glo even though it uses greek letters. It doesn't have a rush period or does any activities inside or outside school.

So my first steps should be talking to the student government first inorder to preceed to try and get a student organization approved before any other necessary steps. Thank you for the information naraht.
