Problems for a Local expanding....

Hello GCers,

I was hoping for some advice. We are a one chapter fraternity at UT-Austin. We've rejected the idea for expansion for awhile due to an old-school mindset of our older alumni. Recently, in the last couple of years after networking with other greeks, everyone is persuaded that becoming a national is a positive thing.

Fast forward to present times.....

I recently had a meeting with another campus about expansion and chartering into a council there. Problem is... one of their policies include:

"Must be an (inter)national organization with at least one chapter in two different states..."

Calling around, we realized that many schools are now adopting this policy. I was just thinking: if everyone applies this policy, wouldn't it make it impossible for locals to have a chance at growing? Anyhow, if there are any orgs in the same situation that would share their views, that would be great. I just want to know what I can do to take my local GLO to the next level.

PS. What are some other problems Locals face trying to expand?
