starting a local on a non-greek campus

[lemons232]

I am completely frustrated. I held an interesting meeting tonight and no one showed up. I know there probably wasn't enough advertising but I have basically been acting alone in my efforts since both of my partners have been sick. I put up as many fliers as there were places on campus but we had trouble getting the room reservation and this was at the same time that they changed us to a co-ed fraternity so I didn't get them until three days before the meeting.
Also my roommate was telling me that one of the guys, someone I considered a friend and who is in the underground fraternity here, was saying that we were stupid for even considering starting a local and that it's basically a terrible idea. I know I don't have to listen to that but it's just another thing to put me down about the whole founding of a women's fraternity.
I have the support from the office of student activities here which is really important. But is that even enough? When do I know to just give up?
