The first step is to halt the cycle in the only spot where the members have control: the internal mechanisms of the chapter. Panhellenic should not raise total-- yet. Panhellenic should give this chapter a few years' chance to get its act together. It could require some major restructuring. But I can tell you from experience that the moment the internal problems begin to be ironed out, PNMs can sense it. They'll automatically stop to give this chapter a second look.

I was looking at old threads and this post really made me think. Any new opinions?
