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.

Under the same conditions, I'd really want to be a local. I think it'd be less work and more freedom, assuming your campus allows locals. And you'd be completely free to use whatever membership standards you wanted with no conflicts with national policy, again as long as they weren't in violation of your school's rules.
I'll be honest: it would drive me crazy to be publicly affiliated with a national organization if I didn't value the affiliation.
