You should also push for your brothers to get more involved in outside organizations apart from the fraternity. Also try showing up to events sober.

You can still maintain your social/party fraternity image while gaining respect through involvement.
I could try pushing that hard. I would need to think of some extra motivation to make them go, but it may be easier to start off with tagging along rather than taking it all on at once. I mean it was even hard for us to get guys to show up to school sponsored Greek Week events. I just dont get why guys couldnt even show up to stupid games that are 5 mins away from our house that are fun.

I dont care about winning Greek Week, but come on at least show up and act like you care. We probably have the rep of having "social members" and not actual brothers because of reasons like this. It disappointed me when our partnered sorority threw a BBQ at our house, and over half our guys refused to go.

Sorry for the rant. But yeah I'm gonna think about working with other organizations to start off
