I think the biggest concern with starting a local would be alumnae support. A big part of why I pledged was to be involved for the rest of my life with Phi Mu and to have sisters everywhere. When you start your own, you miss out on the history that is so important to many people involved in GLO's. I would hate to work so hard to establish a local and have it fold not long after I graduate because of lack of support. Even locals that have been around for a while have the interest of alumnae in keeping the sisterhood going. Just a thought...
