excuse: I'm an individual but telling everyone else that they are doing it in spite of the VP Recruitment
Its easy to say come prepared or you will not be allowed to attend the event and be fined...but in all my times working with students there are far better ways to motivate members than just slapping a fine to it.
I'm trying to give some advice to my chapter as one of their advisors...I tried searching many ways and couldn't find anything else relative...maybe I didn't have the right keyword  |
Is this a problem with a certain clique within the chapter, or is it widespread?
If it's a clique, I'm guessing that they are upset they didn't get on exec board or want the sorority in general to go a way that it isn't going now (i.e. they want to be more studious and think the sorority is too social). I would suggest meeting with this group and asking them why they think the path the sorority is on is so dangerous to its future. Sometimes people just want to vent.
If it's across the board - all sorts of different people doing this - I would say that your exec board needs a crash course in tact and managing people.
Some people you just want to do things for them and please them. Some people just rub you the wrong way and if they tell you A, even if you agree with every fiber of your being with A, you're going to say Z. If your EB is filled with the latter, nothing is going to get done except maybe the chapter shutting down.
