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.

Her second or third post had a point. Not the 1st. And I agree. It is possible for someone to find a reason to start a new org (plenty of people are still doing it). My whole thing is if after you've researched every org out there and still can't find anything then and only then should you look into starting a new sorority. All the things i asked the OP are the basic questions that you should ask yourself before undertaking the arduous task of starting a new sorority, IMO.

But i still maintain that there is a sorority for pretty much everything, whether they be social or otherwise. I still wanna hear from the OP, she hasnt been back yet

While there may not be Greek organizations to cover EVERY niche, there are groups out there for everyone.

If, as Barbie stated in a previous post, 47 year old mothers wanted to create an organization, no one is trying to stop them, but why does the organization NEED to be a sorority?
