I actually did pay a bit of attention to the differences between the national organizations of the chapters on my campus when I joined my chapter. My interest level in one chapter diminished when I discovered that the organization didn't have a strong base in my region of the country. I didn't think I would be able to receive as many benefits or be as involved as an alum b/c the group had very few chapters in the northeast.
As of right now I have a much stronger allegiance to my national organization than my chapter but that was not really the case until I became an alumnae volunteer. Being involved at the national level first through attending convention and then by volunteering helped me really understand the scope my organization.
