ETA: It's not that we hate nationals or even really dislike them. It's just that we will always do what benefits our chapter, regardless of nationals' policy. It's not something we actively think about or anything.

So you're basically (insert fraternity affiliation) chapter of (insert chapter designation) sorority. Almost like your chapter is bigger than the sorority.
Bad idea. But I see it a lot with GLOs and BGLOs. Often from people who have not had any activity with the organization since they graduated. Their idea of organizational dues are when they give back to, and visit, their home chapter.
For BLGOs, this is frowned upon in particular because that is not what a lifetime commitment is about and it goes against our Founding principles and respect for the National entity. Giving back to, and visiting, your home chapter is expected for most of us but organizational dues are paid to the national body--and only through the chapter of current affiliation/member-at-large.
