I would say this depends greatly upon what you hope to become as a national fraternity. Are you looking to become as big as the IFC groups, or merely large enough to fulfill the definition of being national?
Also, you hawe to take a hard look at what makes your fraternity different enough that other schools will want to affiliate with you, rather than an older, more established (as a national) group.
You might look for other locals in the same boat as your chapter and begin to bring such groups together as a new national. This is how some of the national groups began (by joining together locals that had very similiar ideas, purposes, characteristics, etc.).
