This makes me a little curious what you think the "main qualities" of American sororities are.
What about ritual? The heart of almost every American sorority and fraternity is its ritual, which for the vast majority of sororities and fraternities is esoteric -- not known to those outside the fraternity or sorority. A GLO's ritual is what encapsulates and reinforces for members the ideals of the organization; it's the common bond that unites members as sisters or brothers.
I think if you're trying to emulate the American model, ritual comes first. Everything else grows out of that.
