What doesn't the local group pettition to go national itself? If they do the NPC groups contacted will know that the local group is wanting to affiliate and will be prepared and intrested in that process, not an either or situation.
Good Luck, keep us posted.

Lexi, I totally get what you are saying and I don't blame SSS if they wanted to start completely fresh. However, the problem I have is with them telling the Sig Lambs to go through recruitment as individuals. As you said, especially with a group that age, it should be a package deal one way or the other....and the national group should respect that. Either "we are picking you all to be the nucleus of this chapter" or "you all stay local, have fun."
Like I said I think the admin was hoping it would all come together but it sounds like everyone had a different idea what would happen and how. The admin probably doesn't want 2 new nationals at the same time.
