I noticed a little local hating going down on one of the other topics.=(

So I've been wondering, what are the benefits to joining a local greek org vs. a national/regional?

We only have nationals and regional greeks on my campus so I'm clueless when it comes to local sororities and fraternities.

Is your alum support very good? I don't know what my chapter would do without our alumnae group. (We have two in our city! One for each chapter.)

What keeps you from becoming just a clique?

WHY form a local with the sole purpose of becoming a colony for a national? There are colonies established without first being greek. (Here I don't mean forming a local with the intention of one day spreading out and being national.)

I've been wondering about this a lot lately. I just don't see the plus side to locals (besides clicking with the girls on a sisterly level and not clicking with any girls in the national orgs.)

Thanks for your responses!
