I'm in a fraternity and I'm pretty much struggling with the same issue. I joined in the fall of 2004 as a sophomore and was soon elected to the position of Secretary. Things were going pretty well for a while, but soon our new Exec Board, which I'm on, really started to aggravate me. Most of the other brothers didn't see it, but our E-board started to become a joke. Our Sergent at Arms has not collected a single fine since being appointed. We fine people none the less, but in the end it doesnt seem to matter because theyre not held accountable if they dont pay it. In the fall, we will have about 15 actives. We just lost our house, and are basically without a budget. I try to speak up, but no one seems to listen to me or take me seriously(I'm the quiet type). I think its just a matter of time before the chapter dies.
