Are you contending that all GLOs began as locals that decided to become national?

Wouldn't that mean that their original intent was to be a local sorority or fraternity versus, the obvious, that they only had an Alpha chapter/local designation (but always intended to expand)?

As I said, they each started as an individual chapter at a school or, the Alpha Chapter. So they were in retrospect only a local whether they wanted to or were going to try and expand.

The only one I know of that started as a National was TKN who got a group of locals together to form themselves. They later in 1939 merged with LXA.

Interesting.

It really hurts for me to type this, but at least in regards to DST what Earp has said is technically true. We first incorporated Alpha Chapter and it was years later after establishing more chapters that we incorporated as a national body.
