I believe there are St. Anthony Hall chapters that publish poetry journals. A chapter in my area hosts public event such as "Poetry, Prose and Pancakes" and "Haiku Kung Fu."
Starting a fraternity from scratch is hard, hard work. Starting a fraternity from scratch that has a chance of living on after the founders are no longer in school is even harder work. Before you and the rest of the interest group completely dismiss the idea of starting a chapter of an existing fraternity, I'd take a good hard look of what's out there and see if there is an existing group that matches your interests, that would be willing to expand to your campus and that can give support to your efforts. |
Yes we know its hard work, But with out that hard work many fraternities and sororities would not be here. We have looked at all other ideas. We voted and if the vote was 90% or more we will either find an existing fraternity to start a chapter with or start new. We would rather try and give it our best shot and all we can do is hope for the best. We do appreciate all advice given and we do take your words into consideration as well. Me myself I love the feedback and thank each of you all.
