It seems like you generally care for the people in the fraternity, and I personally wouldn't want to walk away from that just because they became the colony of a national group, but that's just me.

The letters and traditions are changing, but the people are not.

Also, you said you "wanted a family, not a networking opportunity." Keep in mind that family and networking opportunity are not mutually exclusive. I certainly have found both in my national sorority. It's not a "one or the other" kind of experience.

Often, people can make it sound as if becoming a national group means turning into some kind of generic, cookie-cutter, organization with an experience that is devoid of any meaningful relationships. That is certainly not true. Like I said before, your brothers are not going to magically turn into different people because of this.

I think you're focusing so much on the perceived negatives of the situation, that you aren't seeing a bigger picture here.
