create a social sorority

[archangel689]

Ginger, I think you're right on the money with the "sounds like you want to start a sorority with greek letters and just not call it a sorority because your school won't like it ."

This is fine. Call it a social club, call it whatever, do whatever you have to to placate the university and shut them up. Some universities are demented about this type of thing. I've looked at your schools site, and I'd have to say that it should be relitively easy to start a local at this school, no other sororities, no Panhel to deal with, and no Office of Greek Bullshit.

You just got to steer clear of any crap the university might give you.

About your choice of letters:

Firstly, I think you should wait until you actually have around 5 girls before you even consider picking the letters, or symbolism behind them... they are just as much founders as you are, and this is a group decision, it's not YOUR sorority, it's "our sorority." If you cannot accept this, do not start this project.

One time, we were deciding on local letters... and Jon wanted to use something like Gamma Tau Chi... and I asked him what we would be telling people during ritual... "that the founding president simply liked the letter gamma and tau chi came from animal house?"

I think you need to think futher into your letters then this, as a group. I personally would have a problem with a four letter designation since it relates you to those sorority life whackos.
