Yes being national gives you help when you request it, but financial help is not just a check in the mail. My chapter had major money issues, and we were not just given a check. WE had to work them out, find a solution and get the money. WE had to come up with a plan to prevent this from reoccuring. Our advisors were very important for this, as well as our alumnae. However, our alumnae are only 5 years out max. We are a young chapter. Alumnae should not be tied in just by a national organization, and in many cases are more tied in through the chapter rather than just HQ. Being national is not like being Harry Potter. We don't have any magical resources, except for assistance with organization, something that 100+ year old locals can have as well, if not better.
