aephialum, I think you have it right. There are a few diehards who, aided by a few alums, are resisting nationalization but I think that the college has told them they must nationalize or disband. They're in the minority.
One student told me that the women were really dazzled and surprised by what a national can offer. I figured they would be. I compare what they have had lately to the difference between a manual typewriter and a computer...not that all locals are like that, of course, but these just had no clue as to how to operate. It was so aggravating for me because I knew that the women were of the stellar caliber that nationals would want, yet they were doing this stupid hazing crap that you hear about having been done in the thirties. Our women could do far better than that.
As for the fraternities, I believe that the nationalization process will begin in the fall now that each fraternity has connected with a national.
