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.
Actually they banned nationals in the mid-50's due to discrimination clauses in some of the nationals' bylaws. This is not to say all nationals there at that time had them, but some did, so rather than discriminate (har) they banned all of them.
