This brings up an issue i've always wondered. If chapters disregard enough rules that they "might as well not be the same fraternity" why bother being part of a national organization?

there will always be things in common but there will always be differences

if everyone was supposed to be in the same fraternity, we'd all go to and pledge at the same university

My alma mater is completely different than other colleges in the state. Someone who would get a bid somewhere else doesn't mean they'd get a bid at my chapter, so why should their relatives be automatic?
