New Sorority, looking for advice

[excelblue]

Welcome to the forums.

Few things:
1.) These forums are very public. You may want to remove all identifying information from your post (i.e. your name and chapter).
2.) Try to not post any dirty laundry; it suffices to only say that you're looking to make things better.

There's plenty of advice to be found on these forums if you search for them.

1. Why is the president running the pledge program?

2. Why are you going to be president after being a member for only one semester? That's a lot to put on a new person.

3. Why do you feel the need to "follow the university sorority's traditions"? Your organization should be its own entity.

I take it this is the group at Genesee CC?

Community colleges attract a different kind of student than regular 4 year colleges. To try to model yourself after the groups at the SUNY system schools (or any other 4 year schools) would be unwise. Many of your members will only be around for a year or two.

I googled and found nothing relevant under "community college sorority." There's a reason for that. It is very very hard to make this sort of thing work with the lack of continuity. You need to be a great deal "looser" with requirements than a sorority at a 4 year college would be, simply out of necessity. If you can't deal with that, it's either time for you individually to terminate your membership, or the sorority as a whole to disband.
