Creating A Colony *HELP!!!*

[determined26]

There is little Greek life at my college. No rushes, no interest meeting... nothing! So far I recently contacted the director of student activities at my school. I informed him of my interest. He gave me helpful ideas to do things like contact the president of the other sorority and find out what obstacles they faced- and so on. I also attended a few events at other schools who have the sorority that I am interested in as well as volunteered with a local grad chapter with hopes of getting more information and first-hand experience. From what I understand, there is not a city wide chapter at this time in my area. I will not graduate until SP 2010 and I am hoping that I will have enough time. People warned that it takes "years" and they discouraged me to not even try... I have decided to stick to what I've dreamt to do... and what I *will* accomplish before I die!!

I am hoping that the grad chapter will be my sponsor?! I communicate via e-mail with them.
---Shall I explain to them what I am trying to do? How do I go about it?

Also, there are a few (2-3) females that attend my school that are in the sorority. From what I hear, one of the girls has already contacted our regional director (I believe that is her title). I am pretty sure that our school gave us the "ok". I know that SGA members are for it as well as the student activities director.

There was also a (BSU) survey going around to find out if students think that the school needs more Greek organizations and if they were interested in them.

Please direct me in the right direction.
I do not have any one close to me that is in this sorority. Unfortunately the closes person that I had passed away this Christmas (God bless her soul). She was my mentor. I did meet all of her sorors at the viewing. They encouraged me some.
Please HELP!
