Oh yeah so like the reason I came On GC in the first place was because I was on Yahoo! answers and there was a link to this site.. Some Guy "I think" asked about some lists? and the best answer "person" gave a link to this site!! hence me asking my 5 questions.. LOL

Please excuse the ignorance.. I'm Newer than New to GC.. and Greek Life in general!! LOL
I would really like to be in or start a Sorority... YES!! I have read all of the posts and threads on the topic... and I will take all those comments into consideration, But the thing is I live in New Zealand?!

We do have a few Sororities at some of our Main Universities, But I'm not actually attending any of them, I'm hoping to attend a Private School!

I have done research on many College (U.S) Sororities.. Well what they let out on their Websites anyway!? And I totally Know Sorority life is not all Glitz and Glamour like Hollywood paints it. But I really Respect the Sisterhood of Sorority life and find "The Philanthropy" (Please excuse the spelling error!) of different organisations to be interesting!



Anyway, I have 5 Questions?!
  1. Would anyone recommend that I start a Sorority?!
  2. If so, Does anyone know of any International Organisations that I can maybe go through to get guidance from?!
  3. If there is No international Org. to go through are there any BASIC tips to get me Started?!
  4. if the Sorority is not on Campus Grounds.. what do you call that kind of Sorority?
  5. Is there like a age requirement for Sorority life?!
Any advice is Good Advice at the moment.. again I apologize for my Ignorance on Greek Life.. But I'm Learning a lot already?!

xoxo

Mmmm Kae.. The Girl that said I need to learn to spell has got me a bit iffy..
What words have I spelt incorrectly?!! Some please tell me?!

That girl was straight up crazy. You can see that was her first and only post here. Don't worry about her.

Also, little hint: might want to tone down the huge font!

"Organization"

And the random capitalizations make it read strangely as well (and rather Earpish).

ETA: Are we sure this isn't Earp? All of the symptoms are there....

Organisation is the standard British/Canadian/Aussie/Kiwi spelling of the word, but Michelle, what's with the random capitalization? The last time I checked spellings were different between the US and the Anglophone world, but the rules of capitalization remain the same.

I think your questions are interesting. I doubt any of the NPC sororities would want to expand into New Zealand because it would simply be too expensive to service that group. Regardless of how it looks, we are non-profit organizations and expensive airline tickets are just not in the budget. And although all the NPC sororities are very similar in structure, they are all secret societies, so no one could share with you how it "really" works. So that being said, if you wanted to gather a group of girlfriends and construct a group, it might be fun! Since you're not under the same restrictions as a similar group at an American university, you can do with it whatever you want.

Just for interest's sake, you could see if there's an American Women Association near you and find out if there are any sorority women in that group. They still couldn't really help you set up the group, but maybe they'd discuss with you their experiences as sorority women from America and give you some ideas.

The random capitolization does raise the eyebrow, but I don't think he would have thought through that a Kiwi would use the spellings "organisation" or "spelt" (rather than "spelled"). Plus, the "word" soroity doesn't appear anywhere.

Michelle Backward, this all seems like a lot of work for something you and your friends talked about as a joke.

It's so interesting how Facebook's Sorority Life manipulates peoples' understanding about GLO's. GLWT!

What do you mean by NZ university's are very culturally diverse within our Education system...
