It is unfortunate that the band does not take you all seriously. That may be a testament to how skilled and serious you all appear, as well as how closely you've been working with the JMU band. Thankfully, it isn't like that everywhere. Check out Kayne O'Brien (I assume he's transgendered or is TBS a co-ed sorority in some chapters? ) who is a member of TBS and color guard http://www.eiu.edu/~marching_band/Ta...ta%20Sigma.php

Becoming a university-recognized sorority does not mean you all will be considered a legitimate organization. You may be laughed at for trying too hard to fit in and be acknowledged. Honestly, if being good at what you do and working together on service projects don't get you all taken seriously, not much will. If I were a student, I'd be more inclined to laugh at the founding of yet ANOTHER seemingly shortlived sorority. And I'd assume these were women who were lonely and couldn't gain membership elsewhere. Just telling you how people may respond to your reasoning.
