It's not right for a group to be able to just say "Hey!

Yes, 100 years ago you could create a sorority all on your own but things are different now.

We had Greek Week (Olympics) and access to meeting rooms, but no campus funding. Do most colleges fund their greek life? When I was in college, we had to pay out of pocket from dues or fundraise for everything.
Maybe the new group could affiliate with a smaller existing group and become a larger stronger sorority. On the other hand, a new sorority might spark a renewed interest in greeklife campus wide and attract people who never would have considered going greek.
