interesting. so your nationals actually PAYS you to be treasurer? I would think that theyd rather have someone who is licensed (finance people, help me out here) to take care of chapter expenses. Especially if it is a paid position. At the very least have all your incoming treasurers fingerprinted (i guess from a legal standpoint).

While treasurer seems like a "hard/time consuming" job, so is "social chair" and "membership educator chair" (or whatever your respective organization calls it). so should THOSE positions also be salaried?
I don't think he's saying that nationals pays, I think he's saying his chapter pays the president and treasurer. And a fraternity is a business and must be run accordingly. It doesnt take a CPA to run a fraternity budget, I would compare the treasurer of a fraternity that big to like an unsupervised internship. And about the whole drinking thing, in his chapter its basically equivalent to everyone in the chapter buying him a couple of drinks on a night out. That's less than 1% of his chapters budget. Obviously no one in the fraternity has too much of a problem with this or they would have obviously set things in stone. Lets remember here, that just because you're chapter runs a certain way doesn't mean it is true for everyone else.
