First off, at UK “social” GLOs are
required to belong to a council. Another requirement is that “social” GLOs must have a national board (i.e. national HQ). So there are no locals (i.e. one chapter only) at UK. As such, this is mainly about administrative oversight (risk management etc.).
As I understand it, the benefit is mainly the support (financial and otherwise) they receive that is similar to all “social” GLOs. An example is that the three affiliate members are included in the official UK Sorority recruitment guide, along with the NPC and NPHC chapters. Their information is also included on the official campus websites for (and listed under) “social” GLOs etc. They also have access to any discounts or funds for speakers etc. that NPHC/NPC/NIC/IFC GLOs have as well. These are just a few that I know of. What other benefits they might receive, I’m not sure.
