Hello RhoSigmaZeta!!!
First things first, the best thing you can do is to go to the Chapter Operations and check out my threads (*has a group and is starting a local sorority as we type* or the ProspectiveRushee threads (anyone know the title??). Many of us on here are founders or have helped in the founding of a GLO.
You can PM me anytime about it, because right now we're coming down to the wire of getting our sorority recognized on campus by fall semester.
Oh, one thing did bother me..."We wanted to start a sorority that broke from the traditional pledging rituals."... So...are you implying that -all- GLO's haze and whatnot during pledging? You may really want to reword that...because it does not sound good.
...and another thing, you may want to think about rearranging your letters, if you are coming onto a campus and you petition to be
RSZ you have the chance of not to be taken seriously. Also, be ready to be thought of as being pledge-dodgers, it's like dodging the draft but worse...
