Locals don't exist to be fodder for nationals. Our goal has never been and probably never will be to go national. I would be incredibly upset to lose what makes my chapter so unique. It drives me nuts when people assume that we're always just axiously awaiting a national charter.
I don't know why I'm bugged by the constant "discreet" talk. When I was a pledge, I wanted to shout my affiliation from the hills (if ohio had any). I wore my pin and my bandana with pride (and in jeans!). Not once during 6 weeks of pledging was I forced to do anything. In fact, there were active sisters who chose not to do certain things because they didn't want to. There was always an open door policy. We lost a girl the first week of pledging, and everyone still loves her to death.
</rant>. Sorry.
I'm just damned proud to be local, no matter how ugly my hawaiian shirt.

Wow nicely put lol. I haven't read any of the other posts but I saw yours read it and thought I would say Well put. I pledged a local sorority too. I know that national ones have their perks and so do local ones, the point is I found a group of gals that was right for me on my campus when I was still a student down in Rio...oh and the only thing I must complain about you saying though is the hills. Lima has none where I am now, but honey southeast Ohio has plenty where I went to school!
Just had to give ya hard time on that part
