What kind of sisterhood is only serious for four years? Give me a break. If she wants to start a new sorority then that is her choice. Not everyone wants that NPC/CPC experience. Maybe what she is looking for is a true sisterhood that will last a lifetime and if so I applaud her on that.

That was not ADPiUCF's point. Her point was, it takes an assload of work to start a local, considering you only have about 4 years to get it firmly established. If you start as a freshman, then you have more time-but starting this kind of thing on a whim and not realizing the amount of effort it's going to take is just silly.

Priss22, as a Life Member of my own sorority, I understand your post. However, when it comes to newly founded local sororities, there's just not that tradition of continuity backing them up.

Audrasue, what I would advise is that you and one of the other women interested contact your Greek Advisor. S/He will have a better handle on what would be right for YOUR school, in a way which would benefit everyone. Good luck!

I don't know too much about starting a new one. But my question is, what kind of sorority you have in mind? As others put it well, it will be a tough battle to start one, esp when you're active in two already.

Why not try to make the best out of your own sorority by taking active roles? Also since your friends are in another service org, why not invite them to rush for your sorority?

But of course, nothing can be forced, if you feel that starting a new one would be best for you and your friends, then go ahead. Good luck!
