NOT looking to go National!

[prdlocal]

Hey, no offense to those locals that are looking to go national out there, but isn't anybody just proud to be a local chapter anymore? I just get the feeling that locals are a dying breed, and I don't know why that is. Is it hard to sustain a local chapter on some campuses? Do you have problems with your colleges IFC and PHC? I mean, I was taught during the affiliation process to be proud of being local, and was taught specific reasons why. Our money stays with us and we can do with it want we want. If I see someone wearing my letters somewhere, I KNOW they went to the same school as me, and went through the same affiliation process as I. Our chapter is run strictly by alumnae and the chapter itself. We are in charge of us, we decide our rules, we have no nationals to answer to. I love my chapter, and all my sisters to death, and wouldn't go national for the world!

So... my question to all of you is...

why does you chapter want to go national? or...

why does your chapter choose to stay local?
