ktsnake and russellwarshay, what great insight!
The pitfalls of Locals are many. Afilliating with a National have many features that are not available to Locals. Risk Management guidelines and Insurance being just two.
Granted, I think All Nationals as we know them today started as locals, only one Chapter. There was one Fraternity that Started as A group of Locals became a National Fraternity. Oh, they are no longer a Fraternity but highly Respected! TKN Merged with LXA in 1939.
I am also the Founder of a Local, Beta Chi!
Now, throw in the Hazing Standpoint if it is neccessary, well that is asnother whole ball of string!
