As far as adhering to National Guidlines every member sorority would agree to the bylaws prior to membership approval. The goal here is to create an organization that a Greek Life Advisor would want their local's to be apart of because there is some sort of "Big Sister". There are many, many details to this I am really trying to see if there is a huge amount of interest out there before we put a ton of time and effort into it.
From my experiance Greek Life Advisor's don't really like locals and its because they don't really have anywhere to fit them (in my experiance). I am merly trying to help locals have a credible place on their campus as the try and live with Panhellenic.

I'm not trying to discourage you -- just giving you some food for thought
Many of the local groups that I've come in contact with pride themselves on the fact that they have no "higher ups" to answer to, so that's why I brought that up. You'd probably know more about this than I would, though. If you feel there is enough interest, I'd say go for it. It'll be a huge undertaking, and I can't see it being successful on a national level (due to the amount of locals). Perhaps you should consider creating something for your region? For example, Local Governing Board for North Texas or something like that.
Keep in mind, though, that many schools want organizations to belong to councils for insurance purposes. That's another thing you'll want to look into.
Good luck.
