Going National
Hey there! I was part of a local chapter for 2 years that just went national this past fall. The way it worked for us was that the university mandated that all Greek organizations either affiliate with a national or end at the end of this school year. They had one weekend where 10 national sororities were brought in (fraternities came the next weekend). We presented to them and they presented to us. We ranked 1-10 and they ranked 1-5 (the number of local groups on campus). Then our Director of Greek Life matched us up. We've had consultants living with us all year and the transition has been great. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it to be nationally affiliated. We had a Greek council, which is now split into IFC and Panhellenic. If you have any more questions about going national, please don't hesitate to ask. My chapter has been through a lot this year (our local was the oldest on campus...25 years), but I couldn't be more positive about going national. Good luck!
