I'm sure there's something in the Kappa membership vows or the pledge program about support of campus and community. A Greek org does not exist in a vacuum. I'm sure that for RM purposes, a lot of our national officers/offices would love if fraternities and partying had nothing to do with membership or campus reputation, but it just doesn't work that way.
And, the bolded. I know your school is pretty unconventional, but let's not pretend that this would fly at some other chapters of your sorority across the country.
The point about the OP's quandry is - this is a BRAND NEW chapter. I've never heard of a brand new chapter that is successful where a large group of its members don't want to participate in something that is a big part of being Greek on that particular campus. If their school was big on intramurals and everyone was refusing to participate, I'd give the same advice. Suck it up and do what's expected, don't pledge a bunch of bumps on logs next time. Heaven knows I am the least athletic person on earth, but if my brand new chapter needed me to stand at the back of the volleyball court and miss passes, or cheer people on, I'd be there.
