maybe no SKEPi after all...

I think what Christina is trying to say is that, if her college doesn't approve of sororities, she could start something that is essentially a sorority but call it a "social club". There are private, religious-affiliated colleges (Harding University in Searcy, AR comes to mind) that have "social clubs"--essentially fraternities and sororities, greek names and all, but under a different name. I guess because, unfortunately, the words "fraternity" and "sorority" have bad connotations to some people that "social clubs" are just more acceptable. I dunno. I have a friend that goes to Harding and is in a "social club" there called Kappa Gamma Epsilon (I think).

CHristina, if you think your college would not approve of a sorority, then it might not be a bad idea to call it a "social club" but essentially be a sorority. Let us know what happens.

Another thing i am wondering if she is worried about is that she doesn't want to 'steal' another sorority's name. (maybe.) Maybe SKEPi is something totally original. However as a local girl myself, i will tell you that there are lots of other chi deltas around the country but only one other is affiliated with us. meaning that some other group might use the same name and that's completely fine. example: chi delta CSUS' colors are pink and blue and our symbol is the palm tree. Chi Delta, in Ark's colors are blue and yellow and has the owl as their symbol. they carry on with their traditions and we carry on with ours. tho it is kinda neat to have them sign our guestbook and say hello to fellow 'sisters.'

Point being, if you have settled on that name, fine. however, if you wanna look at all possible greek letter combos, check out Ariesrising's website. Do a search for her name, the site is in her sig. But i agree with 33girl... don't just pick greek letters just because.

good luck.
