AstroAPhi is right. Stuff like time of pledge period is usually set in stone, more or less. But how new members are treated would be up to the women in the sorority. If you have a problem with the length that is one thing that is relatively set (but my pledge period was extended by 3 weeks plus xmas break, so nothing is absolute) Anyway. i am just trying to press the point that there will be many things that will be up to you as leadership of a sorority wheather you are local or associate with an exsisting organization. You can control how people are treated and set an example of how to treat people and possible set in your local constitution how to deal with people who treat new members in unsisterly ways.
i really don't mean to be rude, but if you problem is simply that the girls were mean would be simply taken care of by treating people like you want to be treated, setting examples and if needed setting rules on what can be done to regulate unsisterly behavior. Maybe I am misunderstanding what the problem was, but how i am understanding the problem can be resolved not simply starting your own org. but by how you set an example and treat people. if this is the case then you can only control peoples behavior so much and is best left to leading by example.
wish you the best of luck, i have said this before in other posts but i think it is super exciting to start your own org and how exciting it is to start your own traditions and what not.
