This. There are two huge items that will influence your school to work with you about recognition.
1. There needs to be an unmet need across a BIG subsection of students at your school. How big is your interest group? If it's just you and a smallish group of friends, that's not very compelling.
2. You also have to prove through your actions that this new fledgling group is beneficial to the university community. How will the campus be a better place if your group is recognized? If you get recognized as a club, start doing highly visible projects on your campus like hosting speakers and seminars on domestic violence, voter registration drives, trick or treat for canned goods for a local food pantry, etc. They are less likely to recognize a group just because they've selected insignia and designed a secret handshake. They want to to see their students drive some positive change!
