starting a sorority

^^^seriously, still makes me giggle.

I know that there was a couple sororities on my campus (Northern Arizona University) that deactivated (is that the correct term?) due to low numbers. Is there a way to find out which ones they were? I would be interested in starting over again. Because I know that AEPi (the Jewish Frat) was here but deactivated in 1991, and they brought it back last year. I think it would be easier to reactivate than to start a completely new one.

Also, there is a local on my campus (Gamma Pi Kappa) which no seems to have any record of and no one is responding to my emails about it. It seems to have just disappeared after 2006. I was wondering could I just pick up where they left off, talk to their past advisors, tell them I am interested in reactivating it and just try to pick up the pieces? They weren't NPC, or any affiliation, but they did have an academic advisor, whom of which I tried to contact about it and she still hasn't responded.

I thought you had found your greek home and were fully immersing yourself with Omega Phi Alpha??

WHICH WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
And then we got presents from our bigs, and god if mine doesn't know me super well already. She got me things to give me hints to who she is, but these items played directly into who I am. It was a red boa, a bubble gun, nerds, chocolate pretzels, and a weird magical bag that makes ice cream?! I haven't tried it yet. But I wore the boa the entire night and when I got home I ran around my house in my pj's and the boa blowing bubbles everywhere. My husband was laughing at me in his "please-calm-down-you-crazy-girl" kind of laugh he has developed since we got married. I tend to get excited like a 4 year old

Our pledge meetings are Sundays at 8pm and honestly, I don't know how I am going to go a whole week every week without seeing all these amazing girls.

And FYI, my pledge mom is amazing.

I'm allowed to do more than 1 group. Plus, I was just fueling my curiosity. I like to be busy.
I am happy with OPhiA, but that doesn't mean I have to stop looking for other organizations to be involved in as well.
Many girls in OPhiA are active in other organizations too including other service sororities, honors societies, religious clubs, and much more.

Just my opinion, but I would wait to see how much time your first commitment will take before undertaking another lifetime commitment.

Yes, there are people who are members of more than one org (I am, but at different schools), but I am guessing that they didn't pursue them both at the same time.

Take a deep breath, enjoy this time in OPA. You need to see how much of a lifestyle it will be. Best of luck.
