Omega Psi Chi Sorority: Start a local sorority on your campus

[Xidelt]

I don't see it as bashing national sororities. These are benefits of local sororities on some campuses that may be a draw to a student considering joining a GLO. I don't think it is this way on every campus with local sororities. Sometimes locals are the same size as NPC groups on campus. But sometimes the local is smaller in numbers. Some girls find this less intimidating and that they will feel more comfortable in a smaller group. Locals may also have lower dues because they don't have to financially support a house or pay dues to a national organization in addition to local dues. Honestly, my local sorority used some of these selling points when marketing ourselves to PNMs. We wanted to get the point across that we offered a valuable Greek experience, yet we were different than the large housed national groups on campus.

Saying that a local sorority offers a unique bond and has more "close-knit" sisters is bashing national sororities. There are national sororities on that campus, not mine but, other national GLOs. There's a better way to market yourself than just looking like you want to bash national organizations.

Thanks Xidelt for backing us and for seeing our site at face value and not trying to stretch it out of context.
