Other fraternities let the chapters know when another chapter has been closed or if other not so great things happen, just so we all remember to stay responsible. however, our GF loves to make it seem like everything is perfect in Beta. I wish we got more of the "real deal". wow, thats a really random thought...

I don't know about this. I personally would rather to hear good things rather than bad things, particularly if it were something that would happen to be about my own chapter.
I do get the feeling that our GF is way more helpful than some other GLO's inter/nationals/GF/whatever. My 2nd cousin is in Kappa Sig and they aren't doing so hot and rather than help them their Headquarters/grand council decided that rather than help them, they would open some new colonies. He's the chapter president and keeps telling me how he feels like he's getting stabbed in the back by the executives of Kappa Sig and stuff like that. It has made me really appreciate that Beta is governed by the General Convention, and that the undergrads have the power. I also think that this is why we don't hear about chapters being closed, b/c most of that type of legislation takes place during convention. There is only so much that the GF can do in terms of disciplining chapters because any such actions will have to be approved by the General Convention (as I understand it). Obviously somethings are built into the Constitution (like failure to pay dues and such) but other actions subject to review as I understand it.
