So we looked into maybe bringing a new chapter on campus before taking the "start from scratch" route, but once again they were not a right fit. So we finally (after a ton of research) came to the conclusion of founding our own. We have all the details worked out. Rituals, creed, constitution, colors, symbols, coat of arms, flower, gem, etc. However, our campus requires for us to either become affiliated with a national or international organization. Which defeats the purpose of starting our own. We want to be recognized as a sorority and not just a club. We know that by not being recognized we cant partake in many activities and awards. What are other options to this? Are there any national organizations we can be under? What would be the process? We have searched and read all threads but we still cant find an answer. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

*we do not wish to be affiliated with National Panhellenic*
