I totally hear what you are saying. One issue that arises from this is the cost/gain of the organizations credibility level. Now in reality, it's not affected, but a GLO is just seen different if it's not in the IFC/NPC/NPHC. It a 'professional' org or just a club (so it seems to the unknowing interested student). It also can be seen that way by other more established Greeks.
So why we strive to be independent to be true to ourselves & goals...we get the 'fake Greek' stigma sometimes for it and constantly vie to prove ourselves.
Are there any easy answers to this?
