How to start Greek Life?
Hello - I'm a college administrator at a campus with no Greek Life system. Some students are requesting to start Greek Life on campus and they put forth a good proposal so I want to fully look into it. Can anyone help me with ideas or resources on where I can go to get quick info on starting Greek Life from scratch? I know there must be a lot out there....

For the North-American Interfraternity Conference, go here http://www.nicindy.org/
They can help you with the fraternity side.
Edited to change double http - don't know why or how it got there.

As a fellow college administrator, might I also suggest that you contact your colleagues at local schools/universities who have GL on their campus. They can likely provide you with information as well.

Amen - and make sure you are contrasting like with like (i.e. number of commuter students, private vs public, things like that) as far as the schools you are looking to as a model.

To add to that, it's often useful (and quite helpful) to have chapters in close proximity because you can then receive assistance from them, their alumni, and their national office.
