Yes, but then it gets around campus that your national came in and kicked people out and even if there's a good reason, this can backfire in that 1) the rest of the campus thinks you're so lame you can't do anything on your own 2) your chapter is going to be closed soon or completely recolonized 3) the national officers can be misled - we all know people who can sell snow to an Eskimo, and some of the slacker asses could just as likely do something similar and you'd end up REALLY stuck with them
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?"
