Impact
The general feeling that I get is that to question Impact in any way whatsoever is heresy. It is simply not done. It is a given that it is good!
Putting on my MBA hat for a second, I know that programs must be assessed on a constant basis to determine if objectives are being met. Metrics have to be established.
What are the metrics for Impact? I suspect that one of them is the number of guys who go through the program, but that doesn't measure effectiveness or 'impact', rather, that is simply a measure of volume.
Are the numbers of chapters in disciplinary status up or down since Impact began? Are grades up? More chapters? More undergrads? Foundation gifts up? These are metrics that may or may not be touched by Impact. What we don't have is a method to measure the impact of Impact.
