New to the site - looking to start a local and need help!

The activity fair on Friday went really well! We got quite a bit of attention and got 40 girls to sign our interest forms - many of whom hadn't joined our facebook group, so that was exciting.

But the most exciting part of the day was finding out from some other girls at the fair that the director of Residence Life is actually pushing to bring Greek life to our campus, and wants to have a Meet the Greeks with national organizations! Which is REALLY exciting! We sent him an email, and we're hoping to hear back from him soon. We would love to be involved with that process and bring a national to campus - it would remove the middle step of starting a local and pushing for affiliation with a national.

We used to have Greek life, I was told, so to recolonize one that was already on campus would be a lot easier then to have to start from scratch. Does anyone know if there's any way to find out what fraternities/sororities used to be on a campus? The student activities director is new to campus and doesn't know, and while I'm sure there's a way to find out through the school I'm curious if there's anyway to research that kind of thing online.

PM the GC poster irishpipes and tell her what school you're at.

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the advice, 33 - irishpipes told me there's never been an NPC group on campus but there may have been other GLOs, so I'm going to look through old newspaper archives hopefully tonight.

Our meeting with the director of Reslife was AWESOME. He was Greek in college and he is really serious about pushing to get Greek life and national groups on our campus. There's another group of students on campus looking to bring NPHC groups to my school, so he's going to help all of us work together to discuss the matter with the administration. He's hoping to get us approved to have a Meet the Greeks night in early October, and invite reps from different fraternities and sororities at other schools in the state to come to represent their organizations.

So it looks like, as of right now, my local may never come to be - but I'll get the chance to be a part of a national organization instead. I hope so, anyway!
