We have run into some interesting "problems" as well. I am sure our two organizations are kindred spirits in some of the issues we deal as neither or us is a PanHellenic organizations.

We have the same problem you do! Compeltely overshadowed by NPC!

Not to mention we're only pulling members from those w/"technical" majors (architecture, engineering, mathematics, and the sciences)

I think one of our big problems though is that no one knows our name/that we exist, etc. When people find out about us they are generally excited b/c they are looking for something like us, but didn't know anything like us existed!

The Biggest problem we have faced as an Independent BGLO is recruitment. we are overshadowed by the members of the NPHC. And the fact that most individuals are afraid to join something that they do not know much of.

what ive noticed is that some of the smaller GLO's feel defensive towards the larger/more well known GLO's. there are dozens of threads on here that express how the larger ones at times feel that those of us who chose a smaller org were rejected by them.

Good question! KBG has placed a lot of emphasis on "quality not quantity" since most of our chapters are smaller and nationals doesn't place quotas or number expectations on the chapters (well, except the minimum of ten members). This promotes real sisterhood and actually KNOWING your sisters, and helps the members not become cookie-cutter sorority girls. We promote individuality of the chapters as well. The chapters have done well once established on campus, we're just still working out the issues of being recognized as a legit national sorority especially for expansion.

I love this! I'm working to start a chapter at my university- how do you find people who choose KBG over Panhel?
