From Locals to Nationals

Ok, I'll start off a thread. I have been putting together a database of local groups at various colleges and universities that have become chapters of the various national and international fraternities and sororities.

One of the things I've done is to visit a few headquarters of groups that are located near me, specifically in Oxford, Ohio, and Indianapolis.

The question I have which is a general question, is how many organizations try to preserve information and memorabilia from the locals that become chapters?

For example, Beta Theta Pi, and Lambda Chi Alpha and Kappa Sigma are three examples of fraternities who have created an extensive collection of local fraternity badges and memorabilia from the locals they absorbed. On the flip side, some sororities headquarters I've visited did not have any information of the locals they absorbed.

I am just curious as to which groups out there have made the preservation of historical info on locals a part of their archives and museums, per se?

Thanks.
