I'm remembering a similar situation. Some of you may remember this at the college where I taught...there were 3 hard-hazing locals. The college ordered them all to go national. One went national, one folded due to low membership, and the third sent a million alums to the administration to beg and plead and cry until they let them stay local with many conditions.

Okay, some of that local's members had seen all the advantages they could get from a national group at the presentations, quit it, and pledged the national immediately. Others hung in there but pledged the second national that came in a couple of years later. They saw that on that campus, there was no comparison.

This campus is still seeing members quit the local to go national. During recruitment, you see clueless freshman buy into that, "You should pledge us! We're inexpensive and we've been here forever!" Then on down the line, they look around and see they're getting exactly what they've paid for and they pledge one of the NPCs.
