No, it is not a good idea.

Get to know the sororities or fraternities better and you may finD one that's right for you after all.

Have you gone through rush or recruitment? How do you know there isn't one for you? Have you looked at the service fraternities? What type of "looking" have you done, exactly?

Also, starting a new organization is extremely time consuming and expensive. Is there an actual need for a new organization at your school? What will an organization you start provide that isn't already being served on campus?

I think you need to look harder at the existing groups at your university before you decide to build one from the ground up. You simply state you haven't found one right for you-- do you have a good sized group of other people who feel the same way? If it's just you, then you won't be successful as a greek organization of one person.

You're looking fir advice? You came to a poplar site for that. I'm pining for advice myself, but haven't gotten any. Unbeleafable.
