My two cents:
I was fixed on remaining local. Hopefully become big and having other chapters all over the nation. It was a big dream. But after browsing several web sites and reading posts on GC, thinking and looking over my sorority's present state, I realized that going National would be a good thing.
1. Not only will you have sisters in your immediate chapter but you'll have "sisters" in Cali, NY, NH, OH or the college a couple hours away, and almost every state in the US.
2. You're a known name. Almost everyone knows of Phi Sig or DZ or the Ques or Delta Sigma Theta or Sig Ep or Theta Xi...you're known...
3. You get alum support-with a local, depending on how long you've been around, you don't have that.
4. Conventions-with locals...if youre the only chapter...you catch my drift...
5. You can order things out of Greek101, GreekConnections, and all the others that if you were local you wouldn't be able to. Like Greek101 has these cute laundry bags-for Nationals only. things like shot glasses with crests and stuff...
I can go on and on but I am determined to go National. Local has its perks but I know I'll enjoy affiliating with a National over being local.
