I think this is a great point. Nothing is being done by the NIC to help us fight this problem. It is being left up to individual GLO's and even individual chapters to fend for ourselves in the face of tremendous national backlash against a few notorious and well-publicized incidents that unfortunately ruin it for us all.
When Kappa Sig and Phi Delt withdrew from NIC, I think they were echoing the frustration that we are all feeling...they finally said enough is enough...if this governing body isn't going to do anything to help the Greek system stay alive, then it isn't worth the time or the effort.
It appears to me that a possible solution to this international problem is a restructuring of the NIC and other governing bodies into organizations that take more seriously the issues of the Greek system and work towards solving them...rather than just providing simple chapter-oriented guidelines and policies.
