I'd analyze what types of things you want your group to do. If it's mostly things that would fall under "sorority life", then why fight it? If you don't want to have a local sorority but strictly a woman's social group; that's cool. Just make sure that your group conforms to university rules and state laws regarding discrimination based on sex. Otherwords, make sure that it's clear this is a social organization primarily. My understanding is that should allow you to be women only. Good luck with everything!

What would "sorority life" things include? I watched the show a few times, but I didn't catch every episode. My intention when going to create a social sorority would be to 1) plan programs/activitites on the Mount Ida campus
2) community service
3) plan programs/activities amongst the Sisters
I want to create a local sorority. I already e.mailed NPC and I know that SKEPi is not affifilated with NPC or any other chapter. We'd be the only SKEPi around, which is very special and unique. I really fell into love reading about SK's history and what they stand for.
My school has 4 honor socities, all with Greek names. I am worried that because it's a social not academic (like the honor socities) that it will be rejected. But I want this to work. I am wondering if I go on the basis of what the local sororities website has, as far as choosing a name, mascot, color, and that stuff... but I think their (Mount Ida) weary of the Greek attachment, but I really don't know.
I thought of e.mailing the student activities and seeing maybe what their take is, but without saying "hey I want to create Sigma Kappa Epsilon Pi"... but I'd like to know what the school would think.
If I go for more of the women's group, that might pass.. But I want to use SKEPi as the name.
