Do many people join Greek organizations that aren't Nationals?

What she considers "hazing" may be relatively innocuous. So before jumping on her for that statement, ask what it she really means.

In her neck of the woods, from what I understand, the tradition of local sororities is very strong - and one of the NPC sororities on her campus was local for far longer than they have been national. The other one is still a colony, not yet chartered.

I joined the group I joined because of the women in it. If those women had been in a local, I would have joined a local. It's ridiculous of us to go on and on about the superiority of nationals when we still conduct rush the way we do. This is more pronounced in some areas of the country than it is in others.

This. We join our NPC chapters for the people in them at the school at the time we join. You may have loved your organization's creed, philanthropy, history, whatever; but during recruitment/rush, the people are what draw you in.
