I'd be careful with the suggestion that knowing a bunch of girls in the national group = more people to advocate for you and a higher chance of a bid.
They could know you and like you, but not necessarily want you to be a part of their sorority (which could very well have something to do with the fact that you were part of another chapter for a year).
Yes, technically it is a local and you are ELIGIBLE to go through again, but they may see it as "you are a nice girl, but you were part of and initiated into another group."
It's just not something I would count on, esp. when you're dealing with a smaller Greek system.
Also just because a sorority is a national, doesn't mean that the chapter is organized. A national chapter could potentially be just as disorganized as your former local.
Another thing: even in a national group, there are girls whose Big Sisters go MIA and don't come around. Being part of a national doesn't mean that things like that NEVER happen.
