On a positive note having seminars, a national magazine, other chapters to visit and travelling consultants can stimulate a chapter to improve. When systems or chapters have gone local they seem to decline over a period of years.

A GLO can have all of those things without being part of a national umbrella group like the NIC, which is what the OP seems to be asking about -- not national vs. local, but affiliated with a national (international) council/conference like the NIC vs. not affiliated.
Many fraternities have pulled out of the NIC from time to time over the years, usually returning later. Both Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta have pulled out of the NIC recently, presumably deciding, for the reason stated by ktsnake, that the benefits didn't warrant the costs.
