Speak to your university's student life office to verify that you are allowed to start a sorority on your campus. Ask what paperwork you need, and this office should provide all the necessary documents and requirements.
Assemble a group of women interested in starting a sorority with you, and discuss what you want the sorority to be like. Decide whether it will be a social or service-based sorority. Brainstorm ideas for the sorority's name, mission, purpose, core values, rituals, colors, symbols and motto.
Create a new member handbook that explains all of the information about the sorority. You will need to update this handbook at the beginning of every semester.
File all necessary paperwork with the student life office, and verify that you have met all the basic requirements.
Elect officers, open a bank account, collect dues and create a website and other promotional items such as fliers to hang in every building on campus, including all residence halls.
Recruit new members during the university's designated rush period, which is typically at the beginning of each semester. Check with the student life office for specific dates.
