For example, I have so much respect for DG just from reading on here how they did everything to prevent chapters from closing - I'm sure at some point they wanted to say "screw it" but didn't.

Just a little response...I can say there are some chapters out there who need help, who are/could be provided help and just refuse to do the work involved. Then they wonder why they are not getting anywhere, or why they are left to "die out". Let's say you have limited resources and you've got two chapters facing basically the same predicament (we'll use the most common example-numbers), one that's working on it and one who just isn't. Who are you going to help if you can only help one?
I think it's really hard to judge a inter/national organization just based on it's national programming, services, or chapter on different campuses. It's a lot more than just those principles. Alumnae involvement, structure of the organization, (both collegiate, alumnae, and volunteer) member satisfaction, member retention, etc. the list goes on. It even goes to the whole attitude of the organization from our New Members to the sister whose been involved for 50 years.
Basically what I'm trying to say is it depends on what you are looking for--what in your mind is the top priority as far as a GLO is concerned. I think this whole idea of national reputation will always be based on the mind of the individual evaluating their own set of preconceived standards for GLO's.
