femm_runner, I'd have to agree with the above posters that unless you're able to confidently answer all the questions posed, it's very unlikely your sorority will succeed.
Here's the thing: while you may say you want to do something in a certain way, getting it to happen in reality is much more difficult. You'll have people that don't necessarily agree with the rules, and if you take an iron fist instead of address the issues appropriately, you'll no sorority at all. Also, symbols and rituals are plain stupid if there's no meaning behind them. If you just arbitrarily assign meaning instead of carefully forming them by group consensus, they might not actually be meaningful enough to last. Not to mention, it's a really hard uphill battle without the knowledge and resources that an existing organization has.
I say this since I was part of the founding class of a chapter of a national fraternity. Even with national headquarters and a bunch of alumni, which have greatly helped us stay afloat, we have still made several stupid mistakes because we didn't have the knowledge or resources directly within our (new) organization.
So, I'd like you to think it over. You don't just form a sorority and then get people to join. You first develop sisterhood bonds and then call it a sorority when it is one. Even then, you'll have to face several challenges, and the chances of it staying afloat are still small.
