I would tread carefully here. At my school, such a group would be welcomed (by students at least), but at a school where reputation is a big bartering chip, I see students being wary of having their name attached to a kinky group.
Official school groups also need a faculty or staff advisor, which would mean you'd have to find a staff member willing to put their reputation on the line as well. If you're dead-set on being an official group, you'll need a faculty advisor, set meeting times, a charter, and a minimum amount of members to qualify (at least, that's how it was in my school!) I second the meeting up with the LGBT...lots of kinky individuals hide out there. I'd also suggest canvassing other likely clubs to garner interest. Talk to the student activities office in your school. Try and have a well-thought out and professional blurb about your group...you can't really go in front of the director of student activites and be like, "Um...I want a group for kinky people and stuff". It might help if you phrase it in a more politically correct and less sexually charged manner, like "A group for those interested in learning about alternative sexuality and sexual practices or something".
I suggest that it would be easier for you to form a little unofficial group, not affiliated with the school. You can avoid all the unnecessary paperwork and still have all the good stuff.
