Starting a new community sorority.

[bossladybeau]

But I don't want everyone to think oh she is trying to create a knock off. Like you don't need to go to college. That's not the case. I'm currently in college. I just want to make something for military wives , mothers, community college students , ect. I could keep explaining but I think y'all get the idea . Where I'm from I don't have any community sororities around.

Those people could all be served by a chapter of ESA or BSPhi. Look into these. PLEASE.

Most people in the situations that you mentioned who want the sorority experience have either A: joined one while an undergraduate or alumni or b: take part in a community sorority such as Beta Sigma Phi. It sounds like you really just want to start your OWN organization for your wants because the void that you are trying to fill has already been filled.

To put it another way - what will this organization offer that is not ALREADY offered by the many groups already mentioned?

How much do you know about setting up a not-for-profit corporation? Are you going to have dues? Who will write and sign your checks? How will you handle a chapter member who embezzles? How will you watch for it? You really need to think about the operations part of this as well. This is another reason to look for an established organization because there will be guidance in those more technical departments.
