In the interest of establishing termonology, what is the generally accepted use national, local, regional, sororites?
Local, to me, is a single chapter. Regional would be two or more chapters of the same sorority with in close proximity but with out strong centralized national governing core. National would be a multi-chapter sorority organized with a national governing body.
The reason I ask is some define National as only a group that is a member of a National greek council such as NPC, NPHC, NIC/IFC, and they consider all others locals even if they are multi-chaptered and organized with a National governing body.
My sisterhood is 3 chapters strong and growing, has had a governing National body since 1996, and is far from being regional or local. I've always consider us National (I'm from the second chapter), but find it at times dishearting to see us considered "not National" just because we're not part of NPC.
