that post was NOT about locals, and you can relax I edited it out. And yes, I do think that there are very real benefits of being part of a National GLO. I know there are some very old locals. But it's difficult for newer ones; one of the best benefits is that you have rules and guidelines spelled out for you already, so that you don't have to make up your rules and governances the hard way; but trying things and finding out what works and what doesn't work.
All I'm saying is that I see very real benefits of being part of a National GLO... more so than being a local, and that's my feeling onthat, and I'm sticking to it!

LOL, why edit it? Be true to your statements..lol
I am very relaxed believe you me, the original post may not have been about locals, but in a sense it was by adding that at the end. You can stick with you want....it's your opinion and I respect that. I just feel that it is somewhat of a close-minded opinion. You stated yourself that you don't know many locals. As for a new local starting out, I think it's almost harder for a new chapter of a national to start out at times as opposed to a new local starting out. It's hard for any chapter to start out in today's society and I don't think that any can argue that point. Sometimes it's nice to be able to form and govern your own rules and I think people can agree with that too. It gives you a sense of "freedom" so to speak.
Seriously, this isn't an attack but I just feel that you have a one-sided view on the subject. People should really support the greek community as a whole, no matter affiliation, local, national, etc. After all, greek life is on the decline.....
