You know it may be all this cramming for exams but this debate of dropping nationals and focusing on the chapter reminds me of a small event that happened before.
American Civil War.
Little conflict, anyone heard of it? The confederate south (SEC or what have you)wanted power to focus more on the individual state (chapter) instead of having a national government (HQ) that was miles away reform how things have always been in their respective state (chapter).
I understand the appreciation of seeing all that has come before you on worked on the national organization to allow your chapter to be there. But when you are a chapter that is 75+ years old your chapter probably has a pretty rich history of its own.
A simple example. Imagine if the NIC told a fraternity how things were going to be. Your fraternity would be pissed and say that is just not how we do things and possibly disaffiliate. (Phi Delt anyone?)

I personally don't care if those chapters do or don't disaffiliate but I see why they would favor "Chapter Rights" and a confederal style of gov't.
