incorporation is important for a number of reasons. it establishes you as a franchise, if you will. it means that you can expand to other campuses and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of the organization. for example, if an alpha chapter is formed, if the org was not inc. it could not use the same name or be consider a part of that org. it is also another bragging point. some of the orgs ,in their inception, had not thought of expanding to other campuses. so, they didn't worry with incorporating initially. but, when others began to expand or have thoughts of growth, it became a race of sorts to see who could do it first. this is my understanding. if any other greek has more info, please share.
