Suggestions & Help Wanted

My friend & I are quite interested in Greek Life. However we are not wanting to join a sorority that is already established. We would like to start a sorority of our own that exemplifies (sp?) our character, beliefs, morals, diversity, etc. The campus that we are at has both local and national chapters of sororities & fraternities, so we know that is is possible to get a new org started. We don't know how or where to start with our quest. We are a little bit worried about how a new sorority will be perceived on campus as well as the fact that we definitely want for it to be multicultural (which is not currently present on campus). All comments and suggestions are welcome, and thank you very much for your time.

While I understand your motivation, I suggest that you check out some of the national multicultural organizations that are out there - there are quite a few. Could be that a organizaton outside the NPC/NPHC already exists that matches your goals for a new organization.

SiempreCansada, I agree with PnquinTrax. There's some great MCGLOs out there. You may find one that already exemplifies your character, beliefs, morals, diversity, etc. I don't know if you already did your research, but here's a listing of some MC sororities: http://www.latinogreeks.com/multi_org_directory.html.

On the other hand, I think you should do what's best for you regardless of the reaction/lack of support you may get on campus. Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised by the support you get on campus. What I do know is that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to start a new organization. Even more so, having that new organization thrive.

Whatever you decide, I wish you much success!!
