I am a member of a local fraternity in upstate NY. We have been given the choice by our administration to either affiliate w/ a national or become national ourselves. We chose the latter of the two. We have over 77 years of history and do not want to lose or identity or alumni support. Yet, how long does the process of becoming a national take? what does it necessarily involve, and can we start a national w/ out another chapter?

You have to have more than one chapter to become a national. Just by definition, if you only have one chapter, you are a local.
If you want to start a new national from the ground up, I would say that will take AT LEAST 10 years. Or am I misunderstanding your post? Do you mean there are nationals at your campus also and you have the choice of merging with them, or picking a new national to affiliate with?
