I'm involved with a community involvement/volunteer group, and the two LGLOs on my campus were at the top of my list for groups to get involved. We don't have any D9 chapters on my campus, but there are chapters at another school nearby, and the same named group at that school works with them. I'm looking forward to all of us getting together this fall.
Two things though
1) The LGLOs have a smaller membership, and it is a lot easier to have, for example, six people show up especially if we're coordinating rides and meals, plus there is always enough work to go around.
2) The LGLOs have been more reliable than other GLOs and other campus groups when it comes to showing up for work days and meetings. Just showing up isn't enough, actually doing the work is integral. Nothing is more annoying than groups that show up late, and don't do anything. We have a database of hours worked for Community Involvement, and the supervisor won't sign off if you're a slacker.
I got rubbed the wrong day one day when members of an NPC sorority corrected me about the name of a sorority. I was speaking of the LGLO, and they kept saying "no it is XYZ, not XAB". They didn't even KNOW the LGLO existed, and thought I was talking about XYZ incorrectly, because the first letter is the same. I can understand not being able to name GLOs that aren't on your campus, but you should know the groups that are on your campus.
