Just a warning if you think that you can become part of a national colony and still treat your "local" ideals as part of your chapter education . . . NPC will tell you that you can. Reality is -you can't. Pi Delta was a strong local at my school who got impatient and allowed KD to colonize them on the basis that the chapter could still teach local history. After the paperwork was signed, they were told they could not, and one elder sister actually said that saing "Pi Delt" was like a bad word in her sorority. They went from a huge fall pledge class, to very small ones, and began a very embarassing reputation. Other Greeks did not give the elder sisters the respect that they previously had as a local. I don't know your chapter situation, but if you really cherish the ideals of your sorority, i would say that you should just start expanding to other schools and try to go national that way.
