I'm curious about this statement. Pretty much every Greek I've encountered IRL recognizes both chapter and national brothers/sisters as more than just "the people who know the same oath as me." Only on GC have I found people pledging their allegiance to the chapter (as opposed to the national organization). Of course, it's obvious that you'd be closer to your chapter members, but I can't imagine treating other brothers differently from chapter brothers.
Is this a common mentality? And why join a national organization if you didn't want the "national brotherhood?"
(Please don't take this as an attack -- just curious about this. Not saying one way is wrong or right, just different)
