Establishing a new sorority on campus.

My Org's history has nothing to do with my beloved Nine Black Diamonds suffering from 'founderitis'

Thank you though for taking the time out to look up my sorority's founding date in an attempt to disrespect my org, my Soror and me.

*no beef though, its only the internet*

Don't explain yourself. If the cow understood the history and expansion of multicultural sororities 13 years ago, she wouldn't have tried to clown.

Plus, Yale> wherever she went.

Honestly, there are hundreds of greek letter organizations out there. I can't even imagine what reason anyone in the year 2010 would have to start something new. (And i mean that in the nicest way possible)

Oh yeah, because things were sooooooo different in 1997. How could anyone possibly have a reason to start another sorority in 2010? If you don’t think it’s remotely condescending and ironic for a member of a very young organization to say this to someone, then you really are ridiculously sensitive. If you, Sen or anyone else wants to run around like a couple of chickens, flapping your wings and clucking about your organization being disrespected, please be my guest.

For the record, I also find the recent onslaught of self-entitled whiners very tiresome. Even though this individual didn’t fully articulate her reasons for wanting to found a sorority, it doesn’t mean her possible reasons are any less legitimate than those of the founders of any other organization.


PS/ Just because your founders attended Yale does not mean the members of your organization are any more illustrious than those of any other GLO.

Who are you?

If you knew anything about the LGLO and MCGLO Greek movements, your ass wouldn't be talking.

For the last time, I am not speaking abou MCGLO, LGLO or any other GLO so stop being so danged defensive. I am talking about there being possible reasons for founding a new organization at any point in history. 2010 is no different than 1997 than 1900 than 1875. The founders of every group did so because they saw a specific need that wasn't being fulfilled at that point in time.

People have issues and needs depending on their life situations, which may or may not have anything to do with culture, religion, race, gender orientation or anything else. If someone wants to start a sorority because they seek the bonds of sisterhood with other women who are 47 year old mothers of 13 children who have three warts on their nose and live in oak trees, go for it.

We just don't know WHY the OP didn't find an organization that she felt suited her needs because she didn't give us the specifics. Her reasons may be lofty or as ridiculous as being dropped by all chapters during the recruitment process at her school. So I think it's wrong for people to categorically believe that since their organizations exist, no others may need to be founded to suit the same or other needs. The posts I was calling out were dismissive and smacked of "we're here so there's no possible reason now for ever thinking about founding any new GLO."

Really?

You are very naive.

Sorry guys, but Barbie's Rush has a reasonable point -- that presumably all of our founders had valid reasons for wanting to start new organizations whether 150 years ago or 15 years ago. If there were valid reasons to want to start a new org 15 years ago, why is it completely unthinkable that there might be a valid reason to start a new org now?

The OP didn't say why she thinks she should start a new org, although her "I thought why not start a new one" did sound a bit less than thoughtful and similar to other threads we've seen lately. But it is possible that she has a good a reason as any of our founders, including the founders of newer organizations. And I think that's all Barbie's Rush was saying.
