Not all locals are once exisiting chapters of a national. And you are using the SUNY system as a basis for your argument but there are dozens of other university systems out there along with many other regions of this country.

Point well said. Like I said before, what happens at your school either doesn't or occurs differently at my school. Different locals, different regions.
And while you can place blame on locals in your area for hospital visits, no org is immune from members that choose to haze. It happens everywhere in and outside the greek world. It just so happens that nationals have better risk management programs and people constantly watching their asses so it doesn't happen again.
So now what? Ban all locals? That doesn't seem fair.
So what does Baird's say about regionals? I mean they completely omitted the definitions of a local org so we have to have something to go off of. Because I have never heard of the term "regional" until I came here. Around here, if a group has more than 5 chapters, they are a national... sorta.
ETA: To hopefully change the subject: what is the difference between IFC and NIC??? The fraternities on my campus are part of IFC. But I keep seeing NIC popping up in the conversation. And I know PanHellenic sororities are traditionally african american sororities, so what do traditionally african american fraternities go by?
