I need help!

Hi everyone!
My name is Hannah and I am trying to do something really special for my aunt for Christmas. She was never able to join a sorority when she was in college, so I wanted to create a new one for her and the women in our family. We are all part of different greek organizations, except for her. I did not want this sorority to be school-based, because most of the women in my family have graduated from college already! I know that I have to get the greek letters approved to make it official, but I have no idea how to do that. I want it to be really special but I don't want to just throw a few greek letters together and pick a couple of colors and a symbol and call it a sorority. I want it to be official. Please let me know if you can help me!!

Maybe she didn't join a sorority because she didn't want to be a part of one?

Also:

1. Do you really think you'll be able to create a worthwhile organization in 2 weeks?

2. I think this is a dumb reason to create a sorority.

3. If everyone else in your family is Greek, why not ask them what to do?

Is there an alumnae path to membership in your own sorority? Maybe you should look into that. That would be far more legit than making up something just for your aunt.

Approved by whom? This sounds like way too much to try and pull off period, much less in two weeks.

If it's something that matters to your aunt, perhaps you could suggest Beta Sigma Phi or PEO Sisterhood.

OP stamps her tiny little foot, throws her hair ribbons on the floor, pouts and sticks out her tongue at GCers while screaming "YOU ARE ALL JUST BEING MEANIES".

Honey, just run along. We are used to it.

My mom says you can join her made-up sorority from HS DKT, but you have to agree that the three boys from her class that she named the group after (Don, Kim and Toby) are really cute! True story.
