Is there a stated reason why this is so? Weren't all of these organizations founded somewhere 'local' and did they not then autonomously migrated to national status based on their having established chapters at more than one university, in more than one region?

What purpose then is served by making a GLO come in under the wing of a national fraternity, if their reach is itself national?
To be national you can do one of two things:

-become part of an existing national, which means the local must change their name to that of the national and often things like colors, motto, ritual etc.

-If a local GLO starts from the ground up at University A and opens chapters at Universities B, C, D, E, F etc that follow the same model, it is a national GLO. You don't have to belong to a conference to be national.
