Nationals cost too much and hence "buying the friendship" Let me ask you something, you go to someones house you dont know in another state, whatever, and they accept you? that is buying friends...I dont care who you are I dont trust strangers in my house!

I wouldn't say that being able to visit (and being welcomed by)another chapter of your national organization means that you are "buying the friendship." It's a great way to network, and since (for example) all members are tied together by shared traditions and history, you already have something in common that money CAN'T buy. My chapter has had visitors from other chapters, and it has been really fun to show them around and get to know them.

Also nationals tend to discriminate based on looks, money or/and power.

Maybe this is a west coast thing, but I know that my chapter is VERY diverse in looks AND finances.
