No not really, but since you seem interested:
Basically, if you need pledges to be on exec board, you have more problems than you can fix and that's like admitting you need someone out side of your chapter to help you. Basically, you need them more than they need you, and that's not good. Things should have never gotten that bad, and if pledges were lead to believe things were actually ok, and built up like "you can even be president" then that's wrong. NOt only wrong for lying but wrong for making the new guys do all the work to save the chapter and then since they are the last exec board, you can blame them and not yourself. Having pledges on exec board is a cop out. If there is only one active brother, then that brother is president, and every other person on exec board, even if has 50 pledges. I doubt one guy would be able to reruit 50 by himself but this is just a for instance.
Plus, its not fair to the actives that have been there longer.
Plus, even if you're upfront with why you need pledges on the exec board to the pledges, its not really fair to have them join a dying brotherhood. ONe that could be rebuilt is one thing, but seriously, as much BS as there is with IHQ or whatever, if you ever needed their help, its when you had to have pledges on exec board. That's horrible.
Not to mention, most exec board positions have ritual duties beyond just being secretary or whatever.
Seriously, if you don't have enough brothers to initatte the pledges, then you shouldn't even have taken a pledge class, you should have spent that semester re-organizing yourself.
