Should Local affiliate with National?

Hey Guys!
I have been going to GC all summer long and you guys are wonderful. Being a new sorority on campus, you have helped me get great ideas for next year. Thank you!!!

But now in my very first post, I desperately need your advice! I'll begin with some background. My sisters and I decided we wanted to start a specific interest sorority 2 years ago. We went through many struggles trying to get a national chapter on campus that has the same interests but received a cold response from both the Nationals and our Panhellenic (2 sororities can't make quota). We ended up going local and affiliated with another sorority at a different campus who had been through the same issues. We just got initiated recently and are very happy to finally have a stable foundation and I foresee our girls and GLO to grow and grow.

So here is what happened. Now remember that because we went local we no longer had a desire to go national anymore. Today we received an email from the Panhellenic advisor that they are now considering bringing that national on to campus and if we are still interested in affiliating with them. Panhellenic is still not up to quota and this national will have less expectations regarding member numbers etc..

So should we go national or stay local.

I know many of you have been in a similar situation and I would really appreciate your input. We plan on talking to Panhellenic, our current local sister chapter, and the nationals of this sorority but I want YOUR perspective! I tried to do a search but maybe you could point me in the right direction?

Please Help
