Why is it sad? Of course the chapter is very important, but why shouldn't you care about the organization as a whole? That is, after all, what you're joining ...

SisterGreek, I was going to ask the same question however I remembered that (I have observed and been told) that most folks who join NPC's and IFC/NIC orgs aren't typically concerned with the national reputation. It's chapter personality that's more important. It really does depend on the school they attend and what greek life is like there. Just different dynamics.

Sure, 99% of us joined a group because of the quality of the local chapter. Few 18 year-olds think beyond what's right in front of them. To me, it was a terrific boon to later realize what an outstanding national organization I had joined. The benefits are many.


FYI:

Current #s for Chi Omega:

Over 300,000 initiated members
171 active collegiate chapters

(Both stats are #1 among NPCs)

You must be an undergrad. After college, your National org matters more. And since you spend 4-6 years as an undergrad and 30+ as an alum, your National should matter to you.
