Here's the "problem" with the phrase "go national" in your case (and I don't mean this as a negative on your fraternity in any way). Usually, a first chapter is established at one school. Other chapters are established elsewhere, until you have enough that you, the guys who run it, feel that you're national - you don't have to do it through NIC or any other umbrella conference.
However, it sounds as if membership in your org is not restricted by school. Thus, how do you define a "chapter" and add a second or third one? Because "national" in the case of GLOs means "more than one chapter, geographically spread out a bit."
So I would think you can't "go national." Your organization can't be organized logically into a chapter system. Now that doesn't mean you aren't national to begin with. It's just a big gulf separating you from most other GLOs. Chapter organization is one of the major hallmarks of Greek life - NIC, NPC, NPHC, multi-cultural and non-collegiate alike. So it's interesting to see a GLO modeled differently - but I wouldn't worry about the concept of going national in your case.
