Sometimes the conflict with solving problems lies in the fact that you may be trying to solve the wrong problem. A great deal of time is spent on trying to patch these minor spin offs of the real problem.
Example) When finals are coming up and an individual is trying to cram, the person says, "I can't believe they are testing me on all the material from the semester." When the problem wasn't that the professor was being difficult (hopefully) but that the student should have studied a little bit all semester in order to reduce the cramming.
Realize that it may not be events to draw your fraternity brothers close but maybe the problem lies in the pledge program and creating a love for Sigma Nu and for your university at an early time. Something that could work is what Fresno State has done and that is to be very creative with the LEAD program. For instance, for the relaxation lesson the fraternity paired with a sorority and did yoga! Doing things like that can really get a guy involved again and rejuvenate the spirit.
