Thank you all so much! I feel so much better hearing encouragement from people who actually know what they are talking about. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate my roomate's input, but it's nice to get advice from someone who's a little more knowledgable. I'll definitely keep you all posted!

Corina,
Just a couple of suggestions:

Always use the full name of the sorority (Gamma Phi Beta, not just Gamma Phi.

Women, not girls.

That is an outstanding letter and I can't wait to hear the response you receive.

That sounds like an excellent letter that you sent, but the suggestions from Pnguintrax/Barbara & maggieaxid are important to heed as well.

I am so happy to hear that you are deciding to go ahead with this and PLEASE tell us what happens. Wouldn't it be exciting if we all had a small part in making a new colony, and eventual chapter happen at UCSC?! YAY!!
Let us know when you get a response from the NPC...that is going to be so GREAT!

I'm seriously like crying right now. I had no idea I would get this much support and help. I honestly never would have had the confidence or motivation to do this if it wasn't for all of you here. I really hope all of this works out well, but if it doesn't, at least I know that I worked my butt off for it. Thank you all so much!!! I'll let you know as soon as anything happens, definitely.

Great job with your letter, I am sure they will be impressed and interested. If we didn't already have so many sororities here I would consider doing the same. Good luck!

Corina -- I don't really have anything new to say, but YOU GO GIRL!!! Your letter is fantastic. It is wonderfully written and it conveys your enthusiasm beautifully. You would be an asset to any sorority!

I'm so glad to read your story because not only are you doing something great for yourself, you are doing something great for the other women at your school who want to join a sorority but for whatever reason are not in Gamma Phi Beta. YOU are awesome!!

A Question

I know on a campus with an established Panhellenic, the Panhellenic would have to vote to allow a new group to colonize. What happens when there is only one group? Does Gamma Phi Beta have any say in a new group coming?

I think this falls under the "proper authority" provision. The "green book" says

"On campuses where the college or university administration recognizes women's fraternities and where no College Panhellenic exists, the administration shall, until such time as the College Panhellenic is created, constitute the proper authority."

Corina, you're amazing - not many women would have the willpower and determination to undertake something like this. That was a very well-put letter, and will surely attract the attention of several NPC sororities. Best of luck to you, and be sure to keep us posted!

Wow!

Wow! Excellent letter!

I'm not even a member of a GLO and I'm excited for you! I agree with the others, if you don't get the attention of at least one sorority, then something's amiss! The best of success to you in your efforts! As a fellow Californian, I want to know how it works out. Please keep us posted!!

.....Kelly

Corina! You're doing a great job thus far! Pnguin made good suggestions...but other than that, you're rocking girl! Keep your chin up and reach for the stars. You have so much courage to go ahead with this, and I know I don't only speak for myself when we offer assistance if you ever need it. Gamma Phi Beta really missed out on a class act when they turned you down
