As a member of a local sorority (my college only has local chapters), I would have to say that I am proud of my group. National chapters may offer the prestige and help you know people from all over, but my group offers me a kind of specialness (for lack of a better word). Because we are the only chapter, we know there is only a small group of girls who are given the opportunity to learn the secrets of EKO. After becoming a greek, I started checking out other websites, and organizations were giving out far more information than we would ever dream of putting up.
One thing local chapters are often associated with is hazing. The state and the school have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to hazing. It happens, and you're gone. Like all greeks, we take pride in giving our club or section a good name and reputation. Unlike national greeks, however, we are the only people who can give a good impression of the club. We do something wrong and our charter is taken away . . . not only is it our fault, our group doesn't exist anymore.
So, which is better, national or local? I don't really believe there is a correct answer to that question. If you're interested in becoming greek, it simply a matter of finding the right organization for you, regardless of the type of chapter.
