Many sororities & fraternities have similar principles from which they were founded and others are very different. I am a Sigma Nu alumnus. SN was founded by Civil War veterans as a protest movement to hazing at VMI. That is very unique and different and has unique appeal for some students on some campuses.
I would take time to reflect upon that which you hold dear. What are your values. What are your ideals. What is your vision & mission? Now research all of the PanHellenic organizations and see which three line up most with that which you hope to accomplish as a new group. Don't take this lightly. You may be starting something that will exist decades from now and even beyond your life on this earth. If you start something, start it with purpose and vision.

Hopefully they're long graduated, because they should be approximately 27 years old now.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
