Question Qualifications for Local Status

[TheEpitome1920]

I know of a sorority that only has a chapters in 2 states yet they put "International" in their title.

Is this correct? Misrepresentation?

[tunatartare]

I would say yes.

[TheEpitome1920]

To which one? That its okay for them to call themselves international when they only have chapters in 2 states?

Unless they have a chapter in another country, they are not "International". KD has tons of chapters, but none outside of the U.S. and therefore we are National.

Two states does not equal international. Two countries does. I question the education of whoever decided they should be "international". Lol

Sorry about that. Coffee still hasn't fully kicked in yet. No, they are not international unless they have any chapters outside of the U.S.

I agree that at this point it is a misrepresentation. Perhaps, they are looking at expanding outside of the US and didn't want to prematurely turn away possible leads. Just a thought.

that's what I was thinking. The sorority has been around since 1990 but hasn't grown outside of Illinois and Indiana.
