When a local becomes absorbed by an NPC sorority, it gives up everything and takes on all aspects of the NPC group. Members will be told of the chapter's history as a local as part of their new member program, but it will retain none of the local's ritual, names, symbols, colors, etc.

There are still ways to incorporate your old cheers/songs (change the name!) and events into the new chapter's traditions, but you are no longer practicing as the local and many changes will take place. The atmosphere of your chapter will likely stay the same-- you are the same ladies, after all. But it is a big decision to change your name, rituals and such, and a long process to get there, as well.
