and most importantly:

4) they need to be young MEN, not boys and take this situation in hand on their own. GLOs are supposed to be partly about teaching you to run an organization, not running to nationals every time something's wrong.

Plus, and I don't think this is telling tales out of school, the national fraternities vary MUCH more widely in management style, etc than the sororities. What I'm trying to say is, some fraternities wouldn't give a crap about this predicament as long as they're getting dues money. Even if it's for 2 guys. They could conceivably call their nationals, tell them this tale and get a resounding "so what?"
