When a local becomes absorbed by an NPC sorority, it gives up everything and takes on all aspects of the NPC group. Members will be told of the chapter's history as a local as part of their new member program, but it will retain none of the local's ritual, names, symbols, colors, etc.
There are still ways to incorporate your old cheers/songs (change the name!) and events into the new chapter's traditions, but you are no longer practicing as the local and many changes will take place. The atmosphere of your chapter will likely stay the same-- you are the same ladies, after all. But it is a big decision to change your name, rituals and such, and a long process to get there, as well.

I know of instances where NIC fraternities have allowed the letters of the absorbed local to become its chapter designation. For example, when Pi Lambda Phi absorbed Tau Delta Phi, the chapter became the Tau Delta chapter of Pi Lambda Phi.
Does anyone know of any NPC instances?

AOII chapters can pick their own chapter designation, so I'm guessing that's happened in their organization a couple of times.

Yep. My own chapter, Lambda Tau, started as a local, Phi Lambda Tau. I also know that Theta Beta at Towson was originally a local called TBG (Towson's Best Girls). I'm sure there are countless other examples.

My chapter started as a local called Alpha Pi. As we already had an Alpha Pi chapter, our founders flipped it to become the Pi Alpha chapter.

Interesting! I know that Pi Delta at Maryland was a local called Lambda Tau. They did not choose that name or it wouldn't have been available when Lambda Tau was chartered.
