Good luck to you and it sounds like things may be coming together.

But if any National is really interested, it would help if you had more than one friend.

But, if to make a presentation, have your ducks in a row.

Why do you want Chi Psi. What struck you as the Greek Organization that you were interested in. If they seem ripe for expansion so that is a plus.

If memory serves me, there are many Chi Psi Chapters in that area that could be of help in an expansion

True, a lot depends on the thinking of the School and how they feel about expanding with another GLO. How many GLOs goth Fraternal and Sorority are on campus. The number of GLOs % wise, are Greeks accepted. Depending on that, it could help a lot with a old and known Fraternity.

Again, having been there it is a lot of hard work. It is also one of the most rewarding things in your life if you can accomplish that.

If i can be of help, PM me.

From what I can tell you about both TKE and ZBT, they will not get back on campus naytime soon.

Delta Sigma Phi is pretty good and I have a few friends in them.

I'm glad that Chi Phi is intrested, and it would be great to see another fraternity on campus! Good luck to you!

Any questions feel free to PM me!

Chi PHI, not Chi Psi. And his friend's dad is a Chi Phi. That's as good a connection as any. Good luck!

Why not start your own local fraternity? That's what a group of us are doing on the Rhode Island College campus (well, we're doing a sorority, not fraternity, but we're creating our own local one). You can mold it into exactly what you want and I know that it's a fairly simple process at RIC.

Good luck with whatever you do!!!!!!!!!

Lots of fraternities prefer to start from scratch, rather then absorbing a local fraternity. Especially those with programs such as BMP.

There is only 4 fraternities that one can join. Yah sure me and my very close friend love them all but they are not what we are looking for. Tell you the truth, we want to start our own fraternity; adding a new chapter onto campus. 10 years ago, 1 out of 6 students where in a fraternity now only 3% of students are.

We have ALOT of big ideals, ALOT!

My question is... I need help. We need guidance on what to do. Right now we are searching the crap out of starting a fraternity and what must be done. Help please!

Where is JWU?

There is a lot envolved in starting a new group on a campus. I know for a fact.

I too found the GLOs lacking in what I wanted and began to change it.

First, have an idea fo what you want to do, Affiliate with a Natioanl Organization which you seem to be wanting to do.

Be concerned with membership and find enough members to want GLOs to be interested in your group. What is the feeling of Greeks on campus, the mix of he and she Glos.

How many GLOs are on campus with the number of students.

What is the Schools feeling about Greeks on camus, friendly or not?

What GLOs are in the area that you are looking at and who is expanding.

Many GLOs today expand including LXA, TKE, Chi Phi and others but are still very careful about expanding on a campus where the feelings may be anti greek.


PM me if you have further questions.

Good luck to you!
