Also, does a sorority need to become a part of a national council if it is seeking national status?

The incorporated status is filed with the IRS, local, state and Federal business offices so that the concepts and ideas of the organization are kept in perpetuity and rarely changes without the membership voting to change it.
Typically, sororities don't have to be a part of council, however, the colleges and universities are requiring being part of a larger group because of liability reasons.
