My chapter struggled through that. If a chapter has 5 members, the whole chapter is basically the Greek Week team. That doesn't allow any flexibility or anything.

My chapter had some close relations with a couple of other orgs on campus. Only because we made an effort to establish friendships with people who just so happened to be Tri Delts or Sigma Chis, etc. Then we were able to see if service and scholastic collaborations were possible or if we could hang out at social events.
If not for that, our experiences were just like you recalled.
