To be precise, it IS a GLO, in that GLO literally means Greek Letter Organization. I believe you mean it's not a social fraternity. There are a lot of different kinds of GLOs.

There are a lot of threads here about starting locals. And if you want your best chances of success, work with the blessing of your student government. But as Naraht hinted at, if John Jay is a commuter campus you are going to have a very tough road ahead as getting people to be on campus hours after classes are over is going to be a challenge. But maybe the campus is changing and more people are living very near campus and having a more residential college lifestyle, even if they aren't technically living on campus. Before you get too far into this, do you have 20 people who agree with you about the need to start a sorority?

The campus just put comunity hour into effect and roughly its been going well. I was thinking about using that hour to do things. I don't have 20 women but I do have a handful who are interested.

Thanks for the links. They are really helpful especially the story about NBO.
