Smiley, while it is a lot of work to start a new chapter, you also have the benefit of getting tons of national support and national officers to guide you along the way. As a founding sister, you also have the fun opportunity to develop the standards and fun local traditions (i.e. wearing letters every Wednesday, honking 3 times when you drive past another sister, etc.). As with any sorority, you get out what you put in-- you don't HAVE to be the president, but you do have greater opportunity to be a chapter leader from the very beginning. The recruitment process isn't so much of a hectic "rush" as with formal recruitment-- it is interviewing with national volunteers and being exposed to the sorority by them, learning about each other, etc., to the point you are presumably extended a bid.
I advise you to go through formal recruitment. If you don't think it is for you, do not sign a bid card on preference night, and check out KD. Or for those chapters (and there are a lot out there) who do not bid to total, you might get an unexpected phone call from your dream house inviting you to become a member, too. This does happen sometimes!
Good luck!
