Hi everyone I need your help on an important issue. I was wondering how I can get a complete list of all the greek organizations that are out there. The problem is that in my college ( Baruch College) there is NO IFC to govern sororities and fraternities, we're pretty much reated as clubs. Recently, our historian got an inquiry about our sorority name being the same as an old fraternity. Our sorority is Beta Phi Sigma and it was formed around one year ago. When we were in our founding stages, the resources we used did not indicate that the name was taken by anyone. And even if it is taken by a fraternity that may no longer exist, the fact that we are a sorority makes the name in itself different right? I was just thinkin that legally if u file papers to get any organizations incorporated two names cannot be held by the same party and thus if Beta Phi Sigma Sorority is Incorporated than it will be different from Beta Phi Sigma Fraternity. I am not too sure about the legal implications of the same greek name however I do know that there are sororities and fraternities that did run into a similar problem such as ours and changed their names as a result of that. I hope you can help us out since our organization is new to all this and we hope to educate ourself better on Greek Life. Thanks so much for reading and hopefully I'll get some feedback! Take care!
