Using your own numbers , how have the locals given you a bad rep any more than you have given them a bad rep? The nationals have caused hell of a lot more bad PR than the locals.

First of all, I've never said that locals have given nationals "a bad rep".
All I'm saying is this: when you have a large group of people compared to a small group of people, then you're going to naturally have more problems from the larger group as a result. That doesn't mean that there are more troublemakers percentage-wise in the national groups compared to the local groups. It simply means that there is more of an opportunity for problems to occur due to their sheer size.
Just like a town of 2,000 people is going to have a smaller crime rate than a city of 20,000 people. It doesn't mean the town is any better than the city. It just means that there's less room for error.

That's fine... I'm all for blaming the people who are making the mistakes for their actions. All 110 of them in the theoretical case that I presented.
But shultzz is pointing the finger squarely at national GLO members and blaming us for the majority of bad PR. Well, if you go with shultzz's view, then you also have to remember that with those 100 nationals who cause problems there are also 900 nationals who didn't. That's a lot of innocent people to point your finger at.
You also have to keep in mind that the sheer size of nationals allows them to do more positive things than locals. So, it all weighs out evenly in the end. Local and national orgs have good points and bad points, but they're all equal when it comes to Greek Life.
Once again, at the risk of sounding like a broken record: the issue is NOT local vs. national. It's stupidity vs. responsibility. There are plenty of immature people acting the fool in Greekdom, local and national alike. So instead of acting like one group is better than another, why don't we work together and see about making things better?
