Makes it simpler with just one document.

Well...yes and no. My sorority's Constitution and our chapter by-laws don't overlap that much. However, we do have both a Constitution and a Code of Regulations, which I suppose is kind of like a set of national by-laws and they do cover a lot of the stuff that's in my chapter's by-laws. Having a single document would probably be easier, but there's nothing wrong with having both.
