My school is mostly nationals. The office of frat. and sor. affairs makes things pretty hard on the locals. They won't let you register if your not national and on their webpage they wrote these organizations are NOT recognized by us then listed all the locals. As far as I know though they won't even let any more nationals in because my one friend tried to expand hers when she transferred here. When we volunteered for dance marathon at our school under our sorority and they sent out the list of volunteers and organizations they were with they wouldn't list ours. I think it might be because there was a local a few years ago that did some pretty bad stuff, and gave the rest of us a bad name. There is only two social locals here that I know of other then us one is a frat the other a sorority and they pretty much have the were not recognized by the university so we can do whatever the hell we want attitude. I see where they're coming from, since the school frustrates you to that point but it makes the school think we're all just about getting trashed. Right now we are taking baby steps toward getting official through the activities dept. That was a real fun time of us pretty much having to kiss ass, and act like we were something we weren't. I think we might have a good chance of being recognized by the school soon. Knock on wood. I have nothing agaisnt the nationals but I think its appaling that OFSA doesn't allow people to choice between national and local if they want to go greek. I think people come to college with the idea of the nationals in their head and with out the image of what locals are all about they think that's all greek life is. It's sad for some one who wants to be in a Greek Organization, but doesn't fit that prototype. With locals theirs usually something for everyone.
