Education Consultants...
 

I guess its difficult for a third party to give you an answer to that. An EC, in my eyes, is there for advice, guidance, to be a point person for communication to/from General, to hold the chapter in check, to praise them when they do well and to scare the shit out of them when they're walking the fence, to be autoritative when needed and to kick back when they can....etc. It all depends.

As a colony, you should probably have a GREAT relationship with your EC. They are not here to hurt you or shut you down (nor can they), but if you make them your worst enemy, its obvious that you will feel distanced from them.

Keep an open mind, they're Beta's too.

As mentioned, its difficult for anyone to give an opinion without knowing what is truly going on. You guys are all adults, AND your brothers - sit down with him, open up, get the stuff on the table....once its out in the open, it will work itself out. Again, he's not there to hold you down, he's there to help you out.

Best of luck bro.

Our Educ. Consultant is awesome... I am really glad we have such a great relationship with him.

Our last EC, I won't mention his name, was absolutly horrible. He was a snake.

We had a lot of problems with two brothers for about a year. We would talk to our EC about dealing with them, but unknown to us the EC and these two guys were stuck up each other's asses. We would talk to the EC and he would go and tell these two idiots what we were planning on doing with them.

It definitly hurt relations with the EC we have now b/c the chapter doesn't feel like we can trust him.
