Thoughts?
The average 18-year-old freshman isn't thinking nationally though. They're thinking in terms of their campus and where they fit. If the local sororities are the top chapters, most visible on campus and they feel that's where they feel at home, that's where they're going to want to join.

I'd rather see a freshman join a local that they connected with and be happy than join an NPC they weren't happy about based on its national presence and not have a positive experience.
