And they insist up and down that no other group has what they want, but they've only looked at a few orgs, or just even at the other chapters on their campus. Or just within their own governing body. Hey, if NPC doesn't have a group you think is right for you, what about the many other groups out there?
If they're too lazy to take the time into educating themselves, there's no way that they're going to be able to start a GLO themselves. Founding a GLO is NOT for the lazy!

But at the same time, how many of the NPC and other organizations were founded because there was a part of the collegiate female population that DIDN'T fit with the recognized organizations? That's not to say that the 21 different organizations aren't fabulous, they are, but as culture and time changes, some may fall by the wayside, and others might come forward as a new and innovative society. I agree that immediately saying that there isn't one out there for you is hastey, but discouraging a founding may discourage the next great sorority.
Tau Delta was supposed to be something completely different (and if I told you, I'd have to kill you), but when the rechartering happened in 85, we found that out of the 2 sororities that could be reestabilished, Tau Delta fit our founder's ideals the most. So we had the best of both worlds..something with a basis in history and alumn support, and something that could be updated to reflect the new culture on campus (differred rush, one rush period only, anti-hazing, diversity,etc.) and the personalities of our founders. You just never know.
