I am a member of a local, and my college is bringing in a new sorority who will be looking at us. We are somewhat eager to go national. The reason for this mainly has to do with how much we are struggling.
Every semester we struggle with recruitment and retention...and we've been on campus for almost 9 years. Because of the constant struggle to survive on a campus where national greek life is fairly popular, we feel this is the next step for us. We were actually founded to become tri delt oneday.
In any case, if could ever make it and have a decent membership I know all of our girls would want to stay local for the reasons you described. But the fact remains, it's a CONSTANT struggle for us.
