we decided to go local so that there would be a jewish sorority on campus, even if it wasn't SDT or AEPhi like we wanted. we're still trying to be national, but this is just kind of a stepping stone for right now.

so i suppose that some peopls go local just for the fact that they can't find what they're specifially looking for in the national organizations on their campus. there's two (soon to be three) jewish fraternities on our campus, but no national jewish sororities.

and i just wanted to add that i've learned so much from reading the threads and posts on this website, i'm relatively still new to the greek world, and i'm trying to learn as much as i can before this new school year. so thanks for that. :-)
The very Best of Luck!

You are right CU is a snake pit whe it comes to Greeks.

Set Your Course and stay with it!
