New Sorority?

[adpiucf]

There are plenty of creative outlets for your daughter. She just has to seek them out. I think that is a much better alternative than burning herself out trying to get other students to work out the ways and means for a possible student organization that doesn't have a faculty adviser or support. There are probably over 100 student organizations at any given college or university, and probably closer to 200.

She can do pageants, join a community theatre group, take an acting class, singing lessons, join a dance studio, the university's homecoming committee, the dance team, a music society like SAI (there are some academic pre-req's), the drill team, or any number of campus activities.

She should go to the Office of Student Activities at her university and talk to them about her interests.

I admire any student who can start a new campus organization, but 9 times out of 10, they fail within the first year, if they even get that far off the ground. Trying to recruit and retain students to become part of a new student activity is like herding cats -- hairy, scratchy and altogether unreliable. I think any student is better served being involved with an existing activity. There are plenty of leadership, mentoring, social and learning opportunities within each-- as well as openness to new and creative ideas, such as adding a theatrical performance component to a service group or incorporating dance into a fitness club.
