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.

I agree with your assessment. There are many things that Panhellenic does that NIC Fraternities could do, albeit that they would have to be adapted for men's groups. There are many chapters, not even in my organization that if they were healthy and vibrant would contribute to the overall health of the Fraternity and Sorority community but those chapters can't do that if all they are worried about is their survival.
