Of course, no wonder we have so little turnout on our community service events!

uhhh, not to seem selfish, but there's no way in hell I'd wake up on Saturday at 7 for a philanthropic event, either. There's no sense in planning things if the majority of the chapter will not do it. It is great to be passionate and gung ho, but if you are so much so that it makes everyone else look bad, you won't win any points that way either.
I don't know if I would push too hard for Kyle, ESPECIALLY since he is your big bro - that can look really bad, like one family is trying to run the fraternity. I'm not sure how your group is structured, but there are sometimes positions that actually have more power/responsibility than VP.
And Pike4Life is right - sometimes people do a ONE EIGHTY as soon as they get into office. We elected one girl as president, and let me tell you, we elected one thing and got another. As soon as she had that responsibility she freaked out and started making all sorts of bad decisions and turning dictator. I love her, but I was a member of that nominating committee, and if I could go back and redo things, she would NOT be my pick.
