I've been reading through this thread and just banging my head at the insanity of the whole process, but I really can't let this comment slide. As a senior in my chapter and a former (2 term) Panhellenic delegate for my chapter, I'm pretty baffled.
It's simple - talk to or email your President. Your chapter delegate. Your PHC officers. Email doesn't work? Go to a Panhellenic meeting and state your views. (I'm not sure about every school, but we had PHC association meetings occasionally that we encouraged women from all chapters to attend.) I understand IU is a far bigger school than my own (less than 5 chapters), but communicating with each other's pretty darn simple with email, texting, phones, and just stopping by the dorm/meeting room.
Change may not happen overnight, but it is the women in the chapters
right now that vote on Panhellenic as delegates, propose Panhellenic legislation, serve as officers, and run the governing body - and not the alumnae of each chapter.
