Well, following national membership guidelines is only part of it from my point of view. There's also not feeling the historic tie nationally. If you're a local at heart, which it seems like you are, I'd want the full local autonomy. No chapter reports, no national dues, no national rules about parties, little sister groups, etc.
On the other hand, if you felt like, say you were a KA, and you were all about Robert E Lee as a spiritual founder and the earlier principles of the group, but you just weren't feeling the brotherhood with some of the other chapters, then I could see why not giving up the letters, history and symbols would be important.
