Sounds like fun visiting the underground chapters, but I
wouldn't get my hopes up.

No one has tried to answer the question posed by many:
"Why not charter the underground chapters?"

With our HQ's readiness to expand, there has to be some
serious reason why re-chartering these undergrounds isn't
being done.

I think you'd find on your visits some reasons why acting
as a local (without all the national rules and dues) while
claiming national affiliation has alot of advantages that
someone (the local or IHQ) wouldn't be willing to
"meet eye to eye on". Ex:

- Rush drenched in alcohol....oh, IHQ has a policy against that???
- Hazing pledges....oh, IHQ has a policy against that??
- INSURANCE DUES??? Are you kidding me??
- Approval from IHQ on every major event?? What's a High Iota?
- We love our little sister organization....free sex for the rushees.

Could go on and on. The kind of guys who join these groups
aren't going to want the extra expense and burden of rules
that come with being "officially recognized", especially if they
think they already have all the benefits (except an annual
visit by an ELC, and we know how all chapters love that!!!)

Of course, you never know until you ask! Good luck!
