Just to clarify-- this happened at Valparaiso only 5 years ago, during the 1997-1998 school year. 8 locals went national, with their original founding dates ranging from circa 1917-1919 (four orgs) to circa 1961. Seven are still functioning; the smallest was not able to make the transition and folded around 2000.
In the case of the original poster of this thread, there are nationals AND locals at her campus currently. It's not so much whether the local should go national or not ... it's IF the local doesn't, whether the poster should drop her local org and try to become a member of the national. (and who knows if she could do both at once, or if the national would take her in the first place...)
Personally, I don't know how campuses with NPC orgs and locals make it work. Those who do have my respect! I'd think it would be hard...
