Oh, cripes, I'm a bit late responding to this thread.
I'm the VP of my chapter for this school year (2001-2002).
I have a lot of work to do this year, because work that was normally reserved for the VP has been taken over by the President due to weak VPs and micro-management-obsessed Presidents. *sigh*
What to do? Ok...
SAEactive and SilverTurtle have said a lot of what I would have gone over. The VP is more focused on INTERNAL parts of the organization, while the President is externally focused, say, on the fraternity's image or public relations or networking and the like. The Vice President is the end all be all point of contact for all committees, big and small, delegates duties, keeps tabs on people to make sure all tasks are completed in a timely manner, and to pick sides in a discussion where a President must remain neutral.
Other than that, make a manual for your year to pass on to the next Vice President! Even your scribbled notes during meetings will help -- especially if they're supposed to read the manual before their first meetings!
