I was answering the question from the point of-these girls have beta chapter now. They are still local, but expanding. Should they seek an already established international or should they continue expanding on their own? That was where I was coming from. I possibly missed the point of the question?
True-it is rare to find locals that are very old. But I was thinking specifically of the Agonians-founded 1892, Clionians (sp?) -1872 , Alpha Delta Epsilon 1886, Sigma Gamma Phi 1892 etc. and the girls at Lee University in Sigma Nu Sigma and Delta Zeta Tau-they've been around since 1964. I am sure there are more that I am not familiar with. But I said before, I may have missed the mark on the point of the conversation. I was just thinking there are pros and cons to both depending on what the purposes of your group are.
