While I admire all of the hooho about being local, I can speak from fact!
I started a local in spring sem. of 1965, Beta Chi. Designed everything and we were a local for almost one school year and then became a colony of LXA. We beat out another small national that was trying to get on at the same time and only one would be accepted on campus. Thanks to the other Houses oncampus because I knew them having been a pledge of an on capus nat. we won as a local.
Sometimes I look back and think I wondaer if I could have started a National? There Is No Beta Chi of record.
On the other side of the coin, because of the lack of Soro. on campus, we helped start a local Soro. They lasted 3 yrs/. They had a chance to go Phi Mu but didn't and guess what, they are no longer there! They did one hell of a great thing but affiliate with a strong National. In the time that I have kept in touch with My House !967- to day, the ADP and KD have come and gone and I for one find that very sad!
If you are in an atmosphere of locals it is easy, but if you are among nationals, it is extremely hard!
When you leave the small pond where you were a big frog, then go to the big pond, you will be a small frog! Who knew abc org at bfd school?
