fraterntiy perspective

Poster Message:
In a fraternity here but gonna give this my best shot, from what I've seen here. Short answer is no, for most ppl it's probably not worth it. Founding a new chapter from the ground up is not easy, and it will feel very weird from the traditional Greek experience. It's worth it for some people. My reasons to say no: -limited sisterhood, won't feel "real" or genuine b/c no bonding process. will feel like joining a regular club on campus like society of women engineers, etc. -no fraternities will want to mix with you, since a lot of frat guys care about their image and "ranking". chi o was even re-instated in 2013 and, 7 years later, besides asig/lambda, no one wants to mix with them unfortunately. -the girls might not be your type/vibe- since you're flipping a coin here it's likely they might not get along. a lot of girls who initially join, unfortunately, will be girls who didn't get chosen at any other 5-6 sororities. you would still have to deal with that. -recruitment will be stressful first 3-5 (maybe even 6+) years, since 99% of PNMs won't pref your sorority. almost all girls rushing want a traditional experience with bigs, littles, 150+ members, alumni networks, etc. however, there could be some reasons to say yes: -want it on your resume -have reeeealy good recruiting skills (or are very attractive) TL;DR will feel more like a club than a sorority first 4-5 years. I'd say go traditional but if your heart feels more entrepreneurial and you're more of a long-term "builder" type, then go for it. But you have to be okay with all the setbacks.
