We broke off from Beta Theta Pi, which also was not recognized.

We still go around advertising we are the fraternities and sororities of our university. The University basically just doesn't give us any sort of cash or other benefit.

We think it would be beneficial to get the school to recognize us, so all 4 groups are working together to get it done. It looks like it might happen in the next handful of years. ... now im worried we will be forced into a national. :S

I wonder why you are worried about being forced into a national?

Are you in Canada?

Why did you break off of BTP?

Lots of open statements and questions.

I can't speak for this person, but in my experience, from talking to members of locals, they don't want to become nationals because of the history behind their organization, and because they'd have to learn an entirely new system all over again. Look at your own organization. Imagine your school saying, "You can be recognized by campus.. but first you have to give up your ritual, your traditions, your symbols, your crest, your philanthropies, your new member program, (etc.), and lastly, your letters.”

That's all they've ever known. How do you think you would feel about it?

Yes, Tom, I think you can assume that when someone puts "Canada! University in Quebec" as their location, they are indeed in Canada.

The only question I have is why do you think we can't tell who you are?

I wasn't quite sure just from the post above, but this other post removed any doubt.
