HELP!
 
My Fraternity is on social probation and off campus for an incident at a party. Since then, the fraternity, through unorganization and lack of motivation has kind of gone down the drain, when it used to be crazy.
Keeping in mind that if we slip up again, we'll get kicked off, what is it that we can do (socially, and hopefully off campus) to bring back the craziness and get the fun back? Thanks for your help!

So what do you mean by craziness? My own interpretation is that the craziness is probably stuff that is not going to help you get off social probation. I would think you need to do things more by the book until you are off probation, since if you lose your charter or get derecognized from the school you'll be having a lot less fun than now.

Give up on the craziness. You aren't going to get away with it a second time. Stay low key for a few years. Chapters change over the years, that's a fact. Hell, MY chapter is different from the one I pledged and I'm a junior. It's totally cool, that's the way it goes. Nothing wrong with going from craziness to respectable.

Here's the problem with off campus parties. If you go to an apartment leased by brothers, have a party, that will, whether intentionally or not, be associated with your organization, and fall off the balcony, the fraternity will be blamed, guarantee it. Or if a girl gets something put in her drink, or someone gets alcohol poisoning. It's on your chapter. So just chill. The best way to market yourselves is to be different. So just be the low key chapter for a few years. Work on getting highest GPA, winning intramurals, having the most community service hours. Find a different niche.
