All locals going national at once

[PhoenixAzul]

Personally, if my alma mater, Otterbein, was to go from all-local to all-national, I think we'd lose a huge part of what makes Otterbein, well, Otterbein. The history of the Greek system is irreparably linked to the history of the school, and vice versa, and I think that imposing nationals would remove a lot of what makes our system work. Our fees and dues are much more affordable, and while OC has become increasingly affluent, there are still a fair number of students from families and backgrounds that couldn't otherwise access the benefits of Greek life.

Now, we do have several NPC city-wide chapters represented on campus, and a chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi (one of two unhoused fraternities). There used to be a chapter of Alpha Tau Omega, but that closed in the 90's due to alcohol/party violations (OC is a dry campus). The Alpha Sig chapter was formed "by popular request" of a group of guys, and its taken them a bit to establish themselves, but they've really been flourishing in recent years. These chapters have some hurdles to face, mainly with reconciling national policy to campus policy/culture.
