Chapter V. National/International

For historically white NIC groups and NPC groups, I don't think this holds true as much. It's more about the chapter where one goes to college.

In my Fraternity, fraternal identification also extends to the district where one became a member. Districts have reputations and political power is brokered along these lines, where alliances are made for international political office.

Oh, you guys do the district/regional/province Intake, too? Do all of the frats? It's interesting that the NPHC sororities don't do that.

Yeah, it may change though; but I was addressing the issue of group or, in this case, sub-group identification. Not only how members identify with their chapter of origins and the National org. but with other levels of the org as well. This is a phenomenon I haven't seen mentioned in this thread which I see in my org.
