What words have I spelt incorrectly?!! Some please tell me?!
"Organization"

And the random capitalizations make it read strangely as well (and rather Earpish).

ETA: Are we sure this isn't Earp? All of the symptoms are there....

Organisation is the standard British/Canadian/Aussie/Kiwi spelling of the word, but Michelle, what's with the random capitalization? The last time I checked spellings were different between the US and the Anglophone world, but the rules of capitalization remain the same.

I think your questions are interesting. I doubt any of the NPC sororities would want to expand into New Zealand because it would simply be too expensive to service that group. Regardless of how it looks, we are non-profit organizations and expensive airline tickets are just not in the budget. And although all the NPC sororities are very similar in structure, they are all secret societies, so no one could share with you how it "really" works. So that being said, if you wanted to gather a group of girlfriends and construct a group, it might be fun! Since you're not under the same restrictions as a similar group at an American university, you can do with it whatever you want.

Just for interest's sake, you could see if there's an American Women Association near you and find out if there are any sorority women in that group. They still couldn't really help you set up the group, but maybe they'd discuss with you their experiences as sorority women from America and give you some ideas.

The random capitolization does raise the eyebrow, but I don't think he would have thought through that a Kiwi would use the spellings "organisation" or "spelt" (rather than "spelled"). Plus, the "word" soroity doesn't appear anywhere.

Michelle Backward, this all seems like a lot of work for something you and your friends talked about as a joke.
