Don'ty be so quick to pass judgement on my outlook. There are actually a few (literally) locals that I respect.

Pick up any older edition of Baird's, and it will clearly define locals as local to one, and only one campus. 1=1. Its really that simple.

The behavior of locals, and regionals, are different. Even though many regionals don't have liability insurance, they do behave more responsibly than locals.

Also, in the Northeast, where there probably more locals and regionals than in any other part of the country, many of the locals are former chapters of national groups that behave in a terrible way.

Its really in the best interest of a small regional fraternal organization to not be classified with the groups that pervade the SUNY system, for example.

And quite simply, changing definitions of commonly accepted terms is highly anti-intellectual, and is counter-productive to rational discourse.
