What I don't understand is why you all stay tied to the national group? Do you think you're carrying on the real traditions of the founders and it's the other chapters and that the overly PC folks and overly concerned about liability folks at the national level who have gone astray?
If I didn't really value the national sisterhood, I think I'd just want to be a local, not share the national traditions and symbols but ignore the bond. Can you explain?

For one going local would be more work for no real reason. Why go local when the only thing that would change would be the letters? 98% of people would be aware of who we still were if we were to change our letters but the other 2% would be left clueless. My campus has no locals so I'm not sure how that would go. Most of our money comes from alumni of our chapter, but there is some that comes from other chapters.
I think your very own question brings this little conversation full circle once again. I've really never thought about it till now (why we don't go local). I don't know what our founders core values where. We learned it during pledge ed, but I've long since forgotten it.
