Don't give up just because of the "general consensus." You already said that you're outnumbered. Imagine what would happen if every small chapter at every college or university just gave up because no one else seemed to care.
If the general thinks there's nothing to see then you say "well we're telling you that there is" and be prepared to give them examples. Better examples than you typed in this thread. If you seem the least bit wishywashy or unable to explain then no one will bother. You and those who agree with you also need to be prepared to initiate the discussion of ways to educate the councils about each other and encourage people to
choose to support each other, not for everything but for at least one program or event per semester.
And leave the "Greek unity" jargon at the door. It really is just a surface level concept that can be reduced to seeing each other at Greek Week. It also makes people cringe if they think the Greek Life office is going to force Greeks to hang out with each other.
