Even mulitcultural sororities still need a central purpose. So I thought it would be cool to start a writers GLO. The music one here is really tight knit and I want something like that. A writers sorority would allow for cultural diversity and at the same time, everyone would have something in common. That is why I want to start a writers sorority.

It sounds to me that you want a fraternal order of people who are interested in writing and/or writers' professions. It also sounds like you would like for this group to be diverse and multicultural by nature.

I believe that for a model of the type of organization you'd like to be similar to, look into Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Mu Alpha (for musicians) and Alpha Psi Omega (for theatre artists). I believe those are the organizations most similar to what you want and provide a solid blueprint.

A writer's fraternity is something I would have joined as an undergraduate.

Imagine the pledge process:

Pledge, write a novel. You can't cross until it's finished and we LOVE IT!!!
