sorority advice needed
So I have a few questions. I apologize if any of these things have been asked before however I am new to this site and seeking some info.
1st thing I rushed this fall quarter at my university for 4 different Pan-Hellenic sororities. On the first day of rush week I was not invited back by anyone. I requested to know why and the reason I was given is because I’m older (27) and upper classman and because I am a mom. So my question would be is there a rule about having moms in a sorority and if so I am curious if anyone is able to tell me why?
Second question being that I can't be part of any group because I am a mom I want to start my own sorority on campus for moms. I have done a lot of research on this and the rules would be the same as any other sorority only difference is no one would be discriminated against. In my research I have only found two other sororities that were started for moms ever. I tried contacting both of them and one never responded and one has dissolved. I know I need to speak to someone on my campus that runs the Greek affrications as well as the student leadership at my school. But before I speak to anyone I want to go in with a game plan. So I guess my question is what steps I need to take to do this. Do I have to be associated at a national level? How do I get funding? How do I recruit members? How do I come up with colors and symbols and philanthropy ect? How do I come up with fees? How do I decide how rushing and pledging works? How many members must I have in order to call ourselves a sorority? Sorry so many questions but any help I can be given is appreciated.
