Want to start a sorority

[Gtender91]

I'm sorry this thread had to turn into this, I didn't want to be spoon fed, I just wanted an idea of where to start. I'm not an idiot and I have gotten a bid to sororities, I just didn't like how the girls themselves treated everyone inside and outside of their sorority. I am now a pledge for the APO service fraturnity and those friendships will go beyond college, I've seen it happen. I just felt like I could use some help with getting the bylaws written. Thank you anyway, I just really wanted some help because I am young and it is going to be a new sorority. We have a name, a moto, a philanthropy. We know that's not even the majority of what we need, we just wanted some help with bylaws. I've looked through the other threads and I was having difficulty still on even seeing where to start.

1. You got A bid to sororities? How does that work? Seriously, a woman can only get one bid from one sorority at a time. How many times have you been through recruitment?

2. If your only experience is recruitment, how do you know how the sorority women treat one another?

3. Fraternity, not fraturnity. If you're in one, you need to know how to spell it.

4. You don't believe sisterhood extends past college? This is news to me. Are there sisters that I haven't heard from in years? Yes. Are there sisters that are my dearest friends? Yes. Same as in any other group that I've been a part of in my life.

5. Motto, not moto

All that being said, focus on pledging your fraternity. Learn how that works before you start to try to build something new. You really have a lot to learn. I'd also suggest getting to know some sorority women on your campus on a personal basis.

The OP is full of feces.

"Feces" as a word is almost as funny as "underpants."

I started the thread, it is my thread. Sorry I mistyped. I have gotten bids from different sororities on my campus. Sorry I'm not the best speller, if that is your main concern about this feed, then that's a problem. I'm concentrating on my FRATERNITY, but I've been trying to work on this for a while. And if you paid attention to an earlier thread one of the girls said that some fraternaties and sororites do not matter past college. I said it DID go past college. The spelling is not my main concern, I just want some answers. I've been through recruitment, and all of my friends are greek. I've been around every fraternity and sorority on campus

Are your sororities local or national?

How many of the 15 girls in your interest group went through sorority rush? How many of those were offered bids? How many of them began pledging and dropped out? How many disaffiliated/quit their sorority after they were intiated?

Interest groups that are filled with nothing but disappointed women NEVER go far.

As far as creating a place where women "feel safe" - unless they're walking into their houses and getting raped by a succubus on a daily basis, you're being a little ridiculous and overdramatic. All sororities have drama. If they didn't, either 1) they wouldn't care about each other at all or 2) they'd be a bunch of vapid clones. You have no idea what it's like when you are inside of it.

In regards to spelling - on an online forum, yes, it DOES count, as it's the only way we have of communicating with you. People who can't spell on here (or other forums) usually get pegged as lazy, dumb, and/or careless. It's a bad habit to say "it's just the internet, who cares?" So much of our lives and businesses ARE online, you should care. Start now, before you develop bad habits and make a horrible impression on your boss or someone else truly important.

Proof I read too many vampire books: my first thought after reading this (besides LOL) was that at a sorority house it would be an Incubus. The Succumbi would hang out at the frat houses.

I'm trying to get a hold of my fraternities constitution and bylaws
