Those who start the organization on the local level, I feel, should certainly be recognized as "charter members." They sign the chapter's roll book first and have the opportunity to begin strong traditions on their individual campuses.
If you need to make that distinction to be able to tell between the two classes of folks, you probably have other issues anyhow.
