On my campus, MGC was basically formed so the "leftover" organizations could be in a council. We have 6 NALFO organizations, 3 locals, and a (small, but growing national) south-Asian sorority. Obviously, all of these organizations are going to be going in different directions (as we all have a different focus), so at my school, I'd definitely be in favor of a local NALFO council. NALFO needs to get its stuff together first, though.

Why do you think MGCs don't properly support LGLOs? And if currently NALFO has a disparity in the strength of some member organizations on a national level that is causing somewhat of a strain, how much more (if any) strain would it be on university level NALFO councils?

Because of the makeup of our council, there are often several policies and procedures that are put in place that benefit the locals more. They try to regulate when and how we do recruitment, what types of events we can host, and plan programs that conflict with national/regional events. I know this isn't always the case, but it is on my campus.

And like I said at the end of my previous post, NALFO needs to get its stuff together to lessen the strain. Once that happens, then local NALFO councils will provide greater visibility and opportunities for member organizations.
