Why/how label yourself as a "local" sorority

I've been looking around this website for a few weeks now but haven't posted anything -- mainly just looked around to help guide me/find out more information on starting a sorority, or local, or just an organization of women.

15 women (including myself) have recently started getting together weekly (or bi-weekly) at my house to have meetings. We all share common goals, beliefs, and viewpoints on what we want to do/accomplish through our club. Right now we are not known at all at our 4-year university because we have yet to tell anyone we really exist.

So I guess the main question I have is: How would we begin to label ourselves as a sorority or a local sorority? We have established a name that we call ourselves and are planning on using Greek letters to represent ourselves. Are there liability issues involved in doing this? I've done a lot of research to make sure that our name is not taken and that we would not be violating copyright infringement (or stealing another sorority's name) If we were to apply to be a "student organization", I am pretty sure we would be able to receive money from our school just as any other club.

There is no doubt in our minds that we are sisters, and we want to do things for our community and on campus as well. We just want to know what would make us different from the other 5 NPC sororities on our campus and would it be worth trying to become a local?


Sorry if this seemed really scatterbrained but I hope it made some sort of sense. Thanks for whatever help input you guys have for us.
