i think you said it yourself: the Greeks are too apathetic to change things. while the director of Greek life does, obviously, hold a fair amount of power over how Greek organization as a whole is run, if the Greeks do nothing to try to change his opinion or the opinions of the administration about how he conducts things, then it is a lost cause. and if the independents are the ones who are stepping up and doing things in leadership positions, more power to them for that. i think Greeks are under-represented in lots of leadership positions because they hold leadership positions in their houses, so because of time commitments, etc., they don't hold positions in student government or other organizations. but it's up to the Greeks to change things, not up to the administration or independents to back down from doing things or being involved. you seem to feel really passionately about this, which is great, and i think if you can find other people, in fraternities and sororities, to back you up and start a Greek movement towards change, you are on your way to improving the Greek system and treatment of Greeks on your campus. but until people get off their asses and band together about this, the apathy will kill the system. if you can beat the apathy, everything else should get taken care of in time, i would think.
