The concept of a national organization = magic fairy pixie dust never ceases to amaze me. If people haze when they are locally affiliated, they'll haze when they're nationally, regionally or universally affiliated, unless the national group majorly cleans house and keeps an eye on them (as in, a live-in eye) for the first several years. Organizations are made up of humans. Humans are what haze, not organizations.
The University of Kentucky (UK) only allows GLOs that have an (inter)national HQ, staff, “national” by-laws etc. The reason, and I'm not completely sure of the official wording, is for legal and risk management purposes – i.e. protect the University as much as possible if hazing (and other risk management issues) occur. Many other colleges have similar “national only” policies and I suspect Wake may be one of them.
