A "city-wide" chapter (or county-wide) is a chapter consisting of several schools in one area that do not or cannot support their own chapter on their own. A good example of a city-wide chapter is Omicron Pi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha in DC - Georgetown U., Catholic University, and Trinity University.
Core chapters (called different things by different orgs) are chapters at several schools but are not city wide. There are chapters of Delta Sigma Theta like this in DC - one is at American and Georgetown, the other is as Catholic and Trinity.

It is my understanding that city-wides are not affiliated with a campus at all while core (or whatever an org calls it) are attached to one campus but allow people from other campuses to join. In each case, all participating schools must be included on the charter. Would that be correct? My sorority has different terminology, but it's all the same thing.
