While the desire to change the direction the chapter is headed ultimately lies with the current chapter members, often traveling leadership consultants (TLCs) can help get the chapter started in the right direction. They typically stay for a couple of days to a couple of weeks and then are a ready source of contact via email or phone conversations after the visit is over. I have often wondered why fraternities don't model traveling graduate member programs after the NPC sororities programs-we seem to have it down pat. Not that we never have to close a chapter-but I do feel that with intervention from IO, those closures are significantly less than they would be otherwise. I don't see how problems that could lead to a chapter's closure could be addressed and remedied in a few hours.
