Don't expect a 100 year old local to pick up a national affiliation. I don't think it would be of any benifit to them. At least on my campus Locals have dues far lower then the national groups, and stronger reputations for the most part.
One of our locals picked up a national affiliation, then dropped it. They still wore their local letters, still used their crest, etc. They were basically still the same fraternity and used the national simply for national support and reputation, not for pride, name or ritual etc. This was simply because they had more pride in their local letters. Frankly with a fraternity like theirs, I don't blame them.
They dropped the affiliation, most likely because it was more of a pain then it was worth.
And who says that a local can't resurrect itself without the benifit of a national body. It would simply take alumni who cared enough to try and do it.
