I've always felt that Beta is more willing to shut a chapter down than offer options to make it better.
On my campus, there have been a few chapters that have had problems over the years. However rather than pulling their charter and ending a long standing chapter their G.F. made a pull to gather in alumni and positively influence a chapter to becoming better.
My experience with out national office is that they bring up things that happened several years ago (before much of the chapter was even in college, let alone in Beta), set expectations for us to meet and tell us that they will help us reach our goals.
Well, we meet our end and yet they don't meet their end. I've tried to work with the G.F. on a number of occasions but I've always found myself bounced around from person to person or just never responded too period.
Additionally, I think that the G.F. is making it's risk management policies so ridiculous that no chapter can follow them and remain a social fraternity.
They tell me that in the event that something happens with my chapter they will help us as much as possible in defending ourselves...and yet if you read the RM policy there are so many measures that if you are having a gathering at Church with the choir you probably won't be covered.
If I had wanted to join a service or honors fraternity I would have. I joined Beta because it is a social fraternity...at the time.
