and what do they Greek letters/names ACTUALLY mean to the sorority/fraternity?
what are some ideas of basis for a sorority? (ex: reasons for starting it)

Any help would be great! thanks.

national affiliation means a chapter of a sorority is part of a national organization and not a "local" or "regional". "Local" meaning it is the only chapter of that sorority, "regional" meaning there are two or more chapters in a geographic area.

"National" implies there are chapters across the U.S.

and what do they Greek letters/names ACTUALLY mean to the sorority/fraternity?

Most meanings of the letters are only known to the members themselves and you will likely not get many answers regarding this.

what are some ideas of basis for a sorority? (ex: reasons for starting it) - if you do not know why you want to start a sorority, I'm not sure why you are wanting to start one in the first place?
