I think it's a good reason to create/support regional counsels that locals can belong to. Even if they only have one chapter, would they be willing to give some of that control to a counsel who could theoretically shut them down for breaking rules? Just tossing a thought out there.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. It is true. It's almost as if many universities and colleges can turn around and wash their hands of the bad behavior by saying, "Hey-it's not up to us...It's up to XYZ inter/nationals to come in and clean up." That way, the university doesn't look like the bad guy for punishing the organization (to all the students) and it doesn't look as though it has been turning its head to the bad behavior (to the alumni). At least with an inter/national GLO, you can feel a little better knowing that the GLO is being monitored by both the school and its HQ.
