Alrighty. Hopefully I won't go too off topic here.

My school only has 4 sororities and 6 fraternities. Two of our sororities and one of our fraternities is local (actually, the fraternity was founder by my school's founder and tried to go national a longgggg time ago but failed). One of our fraternities and one of our sororities are both kind of treated as locals by our IFC. All of the greeks in the local orgs absolutely love them. I have never really heard a complaint from them and, because they are local, they try to uphold their values more than anyone because, if they don't, who will? Their only big problem is recruitment. The three locals have to try way harder than the national orgs on campus to get members.

And in the case of joing multiple orgs.. I know that, at least for the fraternities at my school, you can join two fraternities if one is professional and one is not. One of my much older brothers is a Theta Tau and a SigEp. So, here, our local Phi Kappa Upsilon brothers could also join the professional fraternity but that's it. And I'm pretty sure that if they try to join another greek at another school, they have to drop affiliation with PKU.

Hopefully I wasn't horribly off topic there.. :/
