That's just what I meant - like if they were already an initated member, deactivated, and tried joining your GLO, they obviously couldn't b/c of your rules against it. So in a hypothetical world if the women who disaffiliated from the original poster's chapter tried forming a colony of your sorority it wouldn't work out b/c of your rules against it. That's the only real circumstance that another national organization would have a problem with women who want to colonize the sorority. (The original poster said "...as I tried to explain to them why it could
it was upsetting that this Latina national org wouldnt care that at one point they were in a national panhellenic sorority.) So basically it wouldn't be a big deal to the Latina national org unless they had rules against it... I hope that makes sense. I wasn't trying to single you out or anything, just thought that might help the original poster understand that the Latina national org might not have rules about it and have already accepted the women who want to help with the founding of the organization.

My comment was made exactly because (in your words), "there are obviously more chapters than the few that a local or regional might have." Are you attempting to turn my words into a "national vs. local vs. regional" debate? Please don't--I'm "not the one" for that, as when I joined my sorority, there were only 9 chapters, pretty much confined to one area. Now we are national.

I had no intentions of turning this into a national/local debate. I was just curious as to why you (and the original poster) felt it meant more if it was national vs. regional or local. They cherish their history and ritual as much as the rest of the GLOs, so I didn't know if it was just a "size" issue which was why I asked.
Thanks for your insight...it's always great to hear perspectives from other GLOs.
