Having working to establish and try to keep existing an AA, I don't disagree with what you're saying here.
There are problems with getting AA going. Quite frankly, I don't see much effort from the national fraternity on fixing that. Personally, I blame some (some mind you) of this on our active chapters, who too often put into the minds of their members that "APO" is 'their chapter', so they never think about the fact they are part of a national organization and should consider being involved with that national organization in someway after college (whether its in a AA, an alumni volunteer of some kind, etc).
