Wait...you keep contradicting yourself, and it isn't adding any crediblity to your argument.
First you say:

But then in the next sentence, you say:

If "everyone abides" by your "strict policy" banning alcohol and tobacco from the chapter facility, then why were those substances found (including empties)? Clearly not everyone abides by the policy!
Next, you say:

Ummm...OF COURSE they don't have trust for your chapter--your members have VIOLATED POLICIES...policies for which they are responsible for enforcing and maintaining as legal guarantors of your facility.
One earns trust and respect--one doesn't demand it. Perhaps you'd have better relations with your Board if you would think harder on that point.
One last thing. You write:

I believe that they MUST support and care about your chapter to have signed their names as guarantors on your mortgage--do you realize what an incredible personal risk that is for each guarantor? Believe me, no one who "does not support" a chapter would incurr such a serious personal and financial risk just to torture some undergraduates.
I am certain you are in the middle of a bad situation between your chapter and your Board, but it sounds like BOTH sides have a case of bad attitudes.
You can't control their attitudes, but you can control yours.
