So should we go national or stay local.
I know many of you have been in a similar situation and I would really appreciate your input. We plan on talking to Panhellenic, our current local sister chapter, and the nationals of this sorority but I want YOUR perspective! I tried to do a search but maybe you could point me in the right direction?

What do the rest of your sisters say? Ultimatley this is going to be the big kicker. You're bound to have people who strongly believe in both sides, and I'm sure there will be many heated discussions to sway the middle ground sisters. There are definetly positives to both sides. When my mom was in college during the 70's, the local she was in was contacted by Alpha Phi to colonize. On her campus at the time there were two other nationals and then her local, all doing well with numbers. She said they had several meetings on the issue and heavily weighed both sides. The final vote was close, and they decided not to go national. Mom said she voted to stay local because she really didn't see the benefits of going national (but since becoming a Sigma Kappa gave her a few reasons why
). She thinks eventually they ended up going national about 10 years after she graduated, but she's not sure if it was Alpha Phi. I really don't want to sway you one way or another because this is a totally personal decision that is up to your sorority, your campus, and the national you are considering. This is a huge decision for you girls, good luck!
