When was the last time your national organization absorbed a local organization?

Lambda Chi Alpha absorbed a local in 2003 at the University of South Carolina-Aiken by the name of Pi Kappa Psi. A year later they were chartered as the Pi-Alpha chapter and are the flagship fraternity there.

It happens all the time. Its a common form of colonization with most fraternities.

Not sure it is absorbing, but affiliation of a Local, local.

My idea with BX was to affiliate with a National.

In todays Society, it is hard because of Insurance and Hazing Regs. not to be affiliated with an IHQ!
