Yeah, you DEFINITELY don't want to tick the alumnae off. If they are 100% against this I would drop the idea. Ask for their support in dealing with whatever problems you are having with the national.
If it is a problem with the new alcohol and rush policies, just remember EVERYONE in NPC is in this boat - it's not just you guys. Talk with the other sororities at your school and see if you can get some good ideas on how to work with it.
Are there other local sororities on the campus? If not, would the students, and more importantly the administration, accept the idea of a local sorority? (If yes, next question...)
Is this a recent problem, or are the bad relations with nationals something that has been going on for a LONG time, through several national councils and generations of sisters?
If the answer to that last one is yes, the actives and the alumnae need to sit down and have a THOROUGH discussion on all the pros and cons. Being local isn't perfect - being national isn't perfect - they each have their own sets of problems. Only you and your sisters can decide which set you would rather attempt to overcome.
