well 97 years ago my sorority started with the same problem of sorts. Our founders wanted a womens sorority on campus and they were asked to join another sorority and become a chapter but they decided to go ahead and start their own sorority. We are now a major member nationally of panhellenic, we were the first sorority to have a chapter in Canada AND Hawaii, we were also the first sorority to have a minimum GPA and the first to have our own philanthropy. Our organization was revolutionary to Greek Life and this might not have happened if we joined another sorority. I say go ahead and go national if you can, start small and you will do it, think of how amazing it would be to be a founding father of your national fraternity! Your name will be historical! On top of that you need to continue your traditions. I know a lot of schools in Upstate New York and I know there are a lot of smaller schools, call them and talk to the greek offices there. You can do it!!
