I believe that you will have a much better and more meaningful organization if you design it around a group of women who are already close friends. That way your group will be characteristic of who you are as women and friends. Your sorority will be something that you create as friends around your shared values and beliefs.

Yeah I have around 7 friends who actually came up with the idea as a joke, and I thought I would just do A little Research on the Topic..

I have put on five pounds and I am 130 well I am black so I am not meant to be very thin but I dont want to get stretch marks on my stomach. You need to stay in shape, eat healthy and dont have sex with men who are not high in the sorority sisters standards, I cant wait to get rushed in I am so nervous.

UHm??!! WHAT?? I have near perfect spelling?! Im 17 and sitting a Certificate Two Years above my School year.. So if thats not " smart" Please define what " smart" Is!!??
And Why are you telling us your Weight, when the question has nothing to do with that.. I think it's cool that your rushing or whatever.. But please keep the weight issues to yourself thanks!!

That girl was straight up crazy. You can see that was her first and only post here. Don't worry about her.
Also, little hint: might want to tone down the huge font!

"Organization"
And the random capitalizations make it read strangely as well (and rather Earpish).
ETA: Are we sure this isn't Earp? All of the symptoms are there....

Organisation is the standard British/Canadian/Aussie/Kiwi spelling of the word, but Michelle, what's with the random capitalization? The last time I checked spellings were different between the US and the Anglophone world, but the rules of capitalization remain the same.

I think your questions are interesting. I doubt any of the NPC sororities would want to expand into New Zealand because it would simply be too expensive to service that group. Regardless of how it looks, we are non-profit organizations and expensive airline tickets are just not in the budget. And although all the NPC sororities are very similar in structure, they are all secret societies, so no one could share with you how it "really" works. So that being said, if you wanted to gather a group of girlfriends and construct a group, it might be fun! Since you're not under the same restrictions as a similar group at an American university, you can do with it whatever you want.
Just for interest's sake, you could see if there's an American Women Association near you and find out if there are any sorority women in that group. They still couldn't really help you set up the group, but maybe they'd discuss with you their experiences as sorority women from America and give you some ideas.

The random capitolization does raise the eyebrow, but I don't think he would have thought through that a Kiwi would use the spellings "organisation" or "spelt" (rather than "spelled"). Plus, the "word" soroity doesn't appear anywhere.
Michelle Backward, this all seems like a lot of work for something you and your friends talked about as a joke.

This thread is an awesome thread to read on BB. The whole thing needs to be Q'edFP.
I wish these newbies were an undercover Earp vs. DITY duel. Too, too funny.

I think every post the OP made was quoted.
eta: looks like I was wrong.

It's so interesting how Facebook's Sorority Life manipulates peoples' understanding about GLO's. GLWT!
