A local GLO is not defined by the described entity. That's like me saying my eyes are blue, when they are brown. It is defined by commonly accepted terminology, which should have stable definitions as to enable discourse.

Self recognition is an invalid criterion.

Delta Psi is a member of the NIC, and they essentially function without a central governing body, so this point is also invalid.

"no more than 1-3 chapters" is arbitrary. If a regional fraternity has 4 chapters, and one folds, is it now a local?

A local organization is one that is unique to that campus. That means one, and only one chapter.
