I know that obviously the people who are at my school will not change, but considering the number of girls who rush and drop during the pledging process (which is quite a few) because they're looking for something different, as well as a big decline in the top two houses due to repeated hazing issues, plus the fact that there is a pretty big difference between even upper middle and lower middle tier sororities, i feel like there is definitely a niche where a new sorority could fit in and have plenty of interest, especially with the upper tier sororities losing their reputations a bit.
I mean basically, we know the girls who would be interested in this, it's not like we're hoping our campus will magically have a different kind of girl there. we just want a place for those of us who would fall somewhere between the upper and middle tier sororities that currently don't have a fit (because the previous sorority i pledged would be that bridge, except that they are basically the stoner house, that's their thing, and they're not doing much to bridge the gap between the tiers at all)

This entire post made me cringe.
Please re-read what you wrote, especially the last sentence I emphasized. Your entire argument for bringing a new sorority on campus is because you need a group to fit into a certain made up, superficial tier? I hope you didn't plan on using that argument to petition the school to bring a new sorority to campus.
For your own sake, drop the tier mentality and look at these women for who and what they are. I know you're still in school, so this may not be obvious now, but tiers are stupid and meaningless. Each of those women in the chapters at your school have found sisterhood, and the "tier system" can't touch that.
Why do you truly want to bring a new sorority on campus? Are you looking to fit into a certain rank, or are you looking for sisterhood? If it's the latter, it already exists on your campus. And if you think that bringing a new sorority to school will automatically make that chapter loved by all and at the top of the pecking order, then you obviously haven't done enough research.
Please reevaluate your reasons for wanting to take this on. I'm sure you don't have any ill intentions, but you may be a little misguided. Clearly you now know that bringing a new NPC to campus is a huge undertaking. And starting a local sorority isn't going to have the same "feel" as an NPC (so if that's what you're going for, don't move forward on this, either). If you truly want to be a part of a sisterhood while in school, your best bet is taking a second look at the existing sororities on campus. But please, if you do so, give them all a fair chance and don't think about tiers.
