Two Things You Can Do
This only addresses the fraternities; I can't advise the sororities. 1) one fraternity - more would be great, but one will do - needs to step up and become a signature fraternity chapter for that part of the country. I mean, they pledge & initiate 50+ men per year, they have the student body president and the football captain, they win everyhing in sight and they dominate. that sets the standard, and the others rise in order to compete.
2) Tha alumni of the fraternities at ASU need to organize themselves into a sort of oversight board/protectors-of-the-system. When the University begins to make decisions about fraternities, let it be known that they must deal directly with these adults - preferably lawyers & professionals in their 40s and older - and NOT with the undergraduates. Administrators would much rather deal with undergrads, but if you want to turn things around you must make them deal directly with alumni. This is not a theory; it absolutely works! I watched it happen on one campus, a school very much like ASU. Trust me: both these things can be done, and it doesn't take a long time to accomplish.
