My feathers weren't ruffled, either. To be quite honest, I'm really enjoying everyone's thoughts.
I've seen what can be achieved when a collegiate chapter who has been on various "Special status" designations creates an action plan, implements it, and regularly reviews it. It takes time, like aopirose said, they didn't get there overnight and they won't resolve it overnight either.
When a collegiate chapter implements an action plan--and keeps the lines of communication open with its AAC, area alumnae (as needed and as appropriate) and their Network and International support personnel--I'd bet that 9+ times out of 10 the chapter achieves their goals. If a collegiate chapter in this situation does not implement and follow through on an appropriate action plan, I'd guess they would not be as successful.
