Hi Sarah, the problem with starting a new GLO there is the distance.

Impossible. Maybe a Alumni group would be the only way to go!

But, welcome to the GLO grouping!

Ooo interesting, can you explain a little more? Why wouldn't I be able to create a sorority?

If she wants to create a new/first sorority of its kind in her country, how/why is it impossible? And how would an Alumnae group be appropriate?

To the original poster, good luck with your endeavor!

Thanks very much, boy do I need the luck! My Student Union (who I have to go through to get this ok-ed) currently are being super weird, they just don't get the concept of sororities, and I don't think my explanation is doing them any justice

I'm trying my hardest!

To be honest, this doesn't surprise me in the least bit. I studied abroad in London, and no one had any idea what fraternities and sororities are.
I would gather as much information about the topic as possible, and through trying to understand these organizations yourself, teach others about them as well. It often takes a group of people (women, for sororities, but there are co-ed fraternities) to create recognition about a cause.
Good luck! if you have other questions that we can answer, please let us know

I think this is a great endeavor, a lot of hard work sure, especially from another country, but if you committed, it'll be ok.

Thank you I really appreciate it

I was wondering, any ideas on how I would go abouts getting the name for my sorority? Do I just choose one which is already established? Do I have to get their consent? I'm a little confused (I know I sound absolutely ridiculous and really stupid)
