There are no locals at Adelphi, they were banned in 1992. I know there are a few locals at St. John's and Hofstra.
The State University of New York system banned all non-locals (I think in the 1960's or 1970's.) I believe they thought it would give them more control over the groups which isn't really how things turned out. They allowed the national and regional groups to come back in the late '80's.
