The benefits of joining a national organization are many, whether it be an oversight council like the NPC or just a national sorority.

You get a lot of support and assistance with things like recruitment, chapter management, etc.
You can often purchase group insurance policies, etc.
You get faster recognition and respect from campus administration

As Barb said, the benefits are much bigger with a National named organization.

Schools in this day and age feel more comfoortable knowing tha Nationals will have a better control of chapters when it comes to hazing, having insurance and control and advice.

Having a network of fellow members is becoming a bigger plus everyday.

Also, it is nice to see members from other chapters when traveling.

In starting a local, I never have had any second thoughts about affiliating with My National, LXA.

Just weigh the differences and see what you come up with. Small frog in a pond or a small frog with a bigger pond in front of you and your members.
