Hospitality Sorority, anyone interested?

[bellwisdom]

I'm a Hospitality and Entertainment Major and was looking to for a Hospitality Fraternity. I've been to busy to get started but I was told to see if any of the professors, deans, or the director of the program are greek and see what they think.

Here's a question -- why do you need a social organization for only 1 major? Unless you come from a school with a massively big Hospitality Mgmt Major base, you really are limiting your membership at each school.

There are many coed business fraternities that cater to all business majors. (I've seen the 'hospitality mgmt' majors usually in business schools)

I'm a member of one of them, and having seen the way we operate on several campuses here in Texas, the chapters generally do a lot of social things in addition to having the "business" aspect.

Even if you decide to create a seperate "social" hospitality sorority, what is really the purpose of it? Social sororities have mixers with fraternities on their campus ... is that something this social group will be participating in? If not, what will they be doing?

Thanks for all the responses so far. I found Pi Gamma Theta at Purdue in my research too. I have emailed them and will be seeing if they want to expand to my school, so that may be an option. As far as limiting it to "hospitality", our school actually does have a strong base of hospitality students....I believe it is the second largest in the country to UNLV. We have about 2300 students. The Office of Student Life suggested I petition to see how much interest there actually is. From asking only two classes I got over 50 signatures...and that was limited to females. If we expand from Pi Gamma Theta, it would be co-ed.
