Do you have a fully functioning Standards Board? If not, you should. That way it's not just all on one person to be "the Enforcer."

Check with your advisor, if you have and haven't had any luck go to your District Facilitator - she should be able to give you some ideas.

Good Luck! If you have any questions PM me.
Can I just make a slight clarification....

I think in this situation, as well as most coming before a chapter, the President is the "enforcer" -- the parliamentarian interprets the rules and advises the President. It seems like a standards person would do something similar, rather than having to come off like the bad guy, or at worst, having more authority than the president.
