What national are you referring to Moxie? I know our International Organization doesn't send Leadership Consultants to chapters as a gift. The chapters who receive visits are those with issues to deal with and problems to work on. The bigger chapters get visits also, but just not for as long. The point of our Leadership Consultant program is to help troubled chapters, not reward bigger ones. But bigger chapters don't deserve to be left with no support either, so they receive at least one visit from a volunteer or LC each semester.

From what I have seen and heard (not in this sit. necessarily) that is NOT always true. Some National HQ see a consulant coming in as a gift or a reward of some sort. I guess they have the outlook of, "We dont' have a whole lot of money to play around with. Why spend this cash on a group that isn't very big/doing well and might end up failing after we provide this service?" So what happens? A CDC, TLC or NO comes in to a huge, successful chapter, checks out what they are doing, and pretty much pats them on the head and leaves. That is not helping the struggling "black sheep" chapters at all.
I do not know very much about Phi Sig nationally, so I would never judge their national organization. But I will judge Penn's Greek life and say that they should all be ashamed of themselves.
