I just stumbled on your thread and have been reading through it...there is a similar thread in the rush forum (?) I believe...
It's so awesome that you're doing this! I don't think that a lot of us appreciate the work it takes to create a new chapter because we found what was right for us in a sorority already established on campus.
Don't give up even when things seem awful. I would hate to see you miss out on the all the joys and oppurtunities of sisterhood..
One thing that got mentioned on the other thread....these posts serve as a kind of journal of the founding...they would be a good thing to save for the history of your chapter. For our chapter, we know quite a bit about the history of our sorority nationally, but the local history is not really emphasized. About Phi Sig....Delta Rho 1986 Rio Grande College, Rio Grande, OH....is that the inactive chapter? If so, you would have alumnae support. Maybe you could find some of the Alum in your area.

I'm I Phi Sig, so it's kinda exciting for me....
Hang in there! Phi Sig or not, this is something worth doing!!
