As a former chapter adviser, I would say get a good lay of the land. Find out what the dynamics are in the chapter before coming in and making changes. You need to find out who really holds authority within the chapter, is it the elected officers, or is it someone else? Talk with the members and get a sense of where they think the chapter is heading; their likes and dislikes, etc.
Talk with the University Greek adviser to get his/her take on the chapter and what their history/relationship is. Make sure you will have backing from your national, the alumni,etc. If you do your preparation and homework, it makes a change initiative easier, but still not easy.
Good luck.
