Chapter/colony founders - why GSS?

[REE1993]

For those of you who became founding members on your campus, have colonized and then chartered, what was your process like?

I am interested in how GSS comes to campuses. So to you founders of colonies or chapters:

- Did you specifically seek out GSS?
- Did someone from GSS (alum, another chapter) unoffically introduce you to GSS ?
- How did you hear about GSS that made you want to start a chapter?
- Why GSS instead of an NPC or NPHC org?
- Were there any other GLOs on campus?

I often hear advice given to PNM of NPC GLOs who did not receive bids, to seek out GSS or other service GLOs, local sororities, or academic GLOs. Is this "simply" a marketing issue? I guess this ties in to the common refernce to GSS as not being a "real" sorority (ie. social).

If I am not phrasing this correctly, please excuse me. If you wish to contact me via PM, please do so.
