You're putting the cart before the horse.

Thanks,I've already covered that. I was simply stating, that it is what i've already done. I'm not on here to bash other sororities, I have my reasons why i don't want to join an sorority. If you just need a reason, here goes: 1. They're not very professional. 2. Always late. 3. They dont carry themselves like women. ( Not all of them just some)
I understand you want to reply to a post, but i was asking if there was a national council that had rules and regulations that i needed to follow. I havent put the cart before the horse. I know what needs to be done. Sororities every where started with at least one person having an idea. I care about the colors, crests and other items because they all have a meaning to me and other women whom i would like to welcome into my sorority would carry those same values. Thanks again for helping. What's wrong with someone just helping and answering my question? Why all of the extra stuff? I'm not expecting everyone to agree with what i'm doing, but no one has to be rude about it. Geeze. I joined this forum to interact with greeks and learn some things, guess i was wrong. I'll continue to forward with what i'm trying to do.

Extreme loneliness in a sorority of one.

You say you don't want to bash other sororities, then proceed with the bashing, and then you have the nerve to want us to answer your questions. I seriously doubt you have met most of the thousands of members in the hundreds of chapters to even be able to make such general judgements.

Also, the regulars come here to chat with other greeks, not to be anyone's greek life encyclopedia so you might want to humble yourself when asking your questions because they don't have to get answered. And expect that questions will be asked, advice will be given, and criticism (constructive and otherwise) will be offered. If you don't like it, don't ask questions but please know that no one has to answer you or help you at all. Good luck with your endeavors.

Thanks,
I see that now. We're not adults, we're back in high school. I also said not all of them but some.You're right, you dont have to answer it, but if you're just going to proceed with something negative, why bother wasting your time typing.

Because it is entertaining. Plus, everyone doesn't have the same concept of negativity that you do.

You have a mascot and everything so, honestly, why are you here asking questions? Have you not researched the many lesbian-based sororities already? Have you not contacted these sororities and/or your college to see the steps that "you" would need to take? As a member of the Internet generation, you have so many tools for information in front of you and Greekchat is one of the laziest tools that you could use.

I think the issue is that OP isn't educated on the other sororities and hasn't thought about chartering a chapter of an existing sorority. I also think that the OP is self-centered to the extent that she wants something that's about her and wants to be able to control everything. That may also factor into how she receives the existing sororities that are not sexual orientation-based.

I would keep this in mind:

People join people, not organizations. The love for an organization and things that help set the organization apart such as a crest, colors, badges, letters, ritual, mottos, purpose, philanthropy, etc. comes later.

I wish you luck in your endeavors.

Wellllllllllll, actually, I know what you mean but that can vary by organization-type. I joined an organization. My "love as an outsider" came before I knew the people.

Based on the rest of her post, I think she means in the beginning stages.

This. To illustrate, Psi Upsilon was founded when 4 men happened to meet one day and get into a deep conversation. They enjoyed the experience so much they started to meet weekly to share companionship.

Beginning stages of what, finding other founders to start this sorority? Finding the first set of applicants for membership?

At the same time, there are organizations that begin because one person pushed forward with an idea and others were enamored with the organization itself.
