You don't need to be starting a sorority/campus organization. Any local founder you speak to will tell you it takes a ton of work, effort and more work over years, some disappointment, a lot of late nights, and yes, more work. Doesn't quite sound like that is what you are looking for. Get involved with another established activity on campus.

I agree, Have you looked into becoming an Alumnae Initiate? I founded my chapter while married and I had to make a ton of sacrificies when it came to spending time with my hubby or recruitment events.
In the end it took a huge toll on my relationship, but we worked past it. However, if asked to do it again? I would hire an assistant! Another one of my founding sisters was married as well and we tried to reach out to the "non-traditional" students. Most just did not have the time to dedicate themselves to a starting organization.
Just something to consider.
*Also just because you cant be "active" you can still be a valuble asset as an Alumnae initiate and still participate in all the fun stuff.
