Are you undergraduates Greek men and women -- or are you petulant children who have to be led by hand through your college years, as Dean Boeglin implies? Do we need to move back toward "In Loco Parentis" with more restrictive rules, or can you act with dignity and decorum? Can you be the ladies and gentlemen your organizations are trying to build?

Delt, I think you're preaching to the choir here. Most of the folks on GC are concerned about the same things you are. Undergraduate and alums alike.
I think that college fraternities are not unlike most organizations that exist in multiple locations. Some are destined to be exemplary of the ideals of the organization, some are destined to be the exact opposite.
The solution I think lies with the kind of ladies and gentlemen that we recruit into our ranks.
Most organizations during rush (at our school at least) recruit with "C&P" (Chicks & Parties). We tried something different last semester. We recruited with our values. We told people what we're all about and then of course the other two things come along with that but primarily emphasize values.
If you recruit the right kind of leaders you will not have these types of problems.
