I didn't interept her response to that post as rude. Just a straight out response. :shrug: That's the problem w/ the internet. We interpret every post based on what we're feeling or think of the poster.

I know you had mentioned a friend of yours was doing this with you and that she had been in a sorority at her school. I think it's *very* important that you both, as well as any other initial members, choose the name
together. Get together a small group of interested women and then start laying foundation of the organization. Your group's name, whether Greek letters or not, should be something meaningful to all of you.
fun example: You all meet and discuss your interests and what inspires you. You all decide that the Care Bears are the absolute best thing in the world and everyone should strive to be like the Care Bears. You want to have members that exemplify Care Bear Love. So you name your group Chi Beta Lambda.
CBL The secret meaning is only revealed on initiation.
OR You all may decide that you don't want a name with a secret meaning. You may just decide that you want a name that clearly states your group's intentions...so you name it the Mount Ida Ladies Liesure Society.
Either way definitely discuss with the women who will be your sisters. Their opinion will matter, not those of us on GC. If you haven't already, read wishinhopin's thread. At least the first 50pages or so. Definitely read the locals forum. Reasearch, reasearch, reasearch. What does the school require to be a student group. Will you be required to have a constitution. To paraphrase
What About Bob? "Baby steps. Start with baby steps." Get your group recognized. Build up your membership. Create bonds of sisterhood.
Then worry about all the parties you'll throw and fun you'll have.
The reason there aren't more sororities and fraternities out there is that it takes a ton of work. If you're frustrated now and worried about what some people on GC say, I worry that you won't have the stamina to get your group off the ground.

To all of my GC Panhellenic sisters!
Love you all!!!
I know that Cristina has been confusing. If she's serious, she'll create a new organization at her school. If she's goofing around, she'll get bored and moved on. Let's all try to be as helpful as we can, and if we can't help, no need to respond.
