Interesting thread...
I joined a newly founded local, so there's your answer.
For me, it was more important to consider the sisters at my school, rather than the number of chapters/sisters nationwide (or lack thereof).
I'm glad, though, that we later became a chapter of AEPhi. I now have sisters everywhere, which is nice. I also ended up settling in the Northeast US, where AEPhi has a big presence.
I rushed before the Web came into widespread use, so nobody had a website. (I later built my chapter's first website.) I didn't care about the colors - it was the intangible qualities that were more important to me. (Although green and purple are pretty
)
As for why I rushed and joined my local - when I first arrived at their first rush event, I immediately felt right at home, like these were the sisters I never knew I had. It's hard to describe...
