Hopefully, the local, community service sorority I'm starting will one day have at least one community and one collegiate chapter. Congratulations to successful local sororities!

(I'm going with the community route because I've already graduated from college.)

We had one sister cross over from three. It's been a hard and bumpy road but we have sat down and changed a few rules here and there and made handbooks on pledging. We might start a summer pledge. In mean time we are trying get new shirts, but all the sites that do screen shots want about 20-24 shirts done. Sadly we only have seven girls.

Yeah, me too. Is that what inspired the name?

No. The name did not originate from the movie. The saying "she's like the girl next door," which was around long before the movie is used to refer to the kind of girl you can take home to meet your parents, she's sweet, well mannered, & well rounded generally speaking. An All American Girl.

I understand EXACTLY how you feel! Sigma Alpha Chi shares a similar story. My class (Pi) was the last full line that the sorority had. We were 3 in and 3 out. Last semester like you, we had seven members, but two quit and we have one member at large. It has been difficult with just four girls, but I can honestly say that the sorority seems to run so muchmore smoothly and my sisters and I are the closest that we could possibly be. It would be great to have ten girls, we would be happy with that, but my big sister always told my line sisters and I that is isnt about quantity, but quality. My advice to you is to represent your sorority any way you can. We go to a lot of probates and educational programs, as well as other Greek events. I wear my letters as much as I possibly can, and I encourage my sisters to do the same so that way our faces can be tied to our letters. Establishing relationships with other Greek chapters is another suggestion. NPHC chapters and other Multicultural Greek chapters are great supporters of us.

If you ever would like to chat local to local, just send me and message and I would love to talk! Good luck with your chapter and REPRESENT!!!!

Hey locals whats the plan for fall oh8???? Omega Phi Delta is planning for a big recruitment this year. We're participating in the local awarness walk for ovarian cancer. And hopefully we will get the wheels turning for incorporation before the year is through.

Im a member of the wonderful local sorority Delta Sigma Chi. We were founded in 1962 and going strong. We currently have 24 members. I am a member of the newest pledge class. At our school we aren't allowed to have rush or pledging until second semester, so I am not sure what the new class will look like but ill keep you updated

[Coquiporvida]

I am proud to say that I a Sophisticated Lady of Sigma Alpha Chi Latina Sorority, Inc. established in 1997 at Missouri State University. We currently planing informationals for our next line this coming semester. Like Dazzler I am a member of our newest class. I crossed in the Spring of last year. We're just promoting, marketing, and representing Sigma Alpha Chi all day everyday!

My local is having rush at uga next week. Can't believe its been almost ten years since I joined!

I didnt want to start a new thread so i decided to post this question here..my sorority would like to increase our chapters to other local schools but we dont know exactly how that would happen.

I know schools have to be open to adding another GLO to their council. Even if they are, how is it possible for us to find out and perhaps host an information session on the campus?

I am not looking for specific school answers, i'm looking to find out how other organizations were able to expand to other schools.

Currently my organization is not affiliated with any school but we are hoping to expand to schools in an effort to gain national status.

We had a school permit us registration last spring but the chapter we were hoping for collapsed.

Any comments, questions, or similar situations?
