1) You need to stop doing everything. You've worked very hard, but there's no sense being a fraternity of one.
2) Have exec board meet once a week. Make your VP run it.
3) All officers and anyone who has an annoucement submit their announcement to you for the agenda 72 hours before the meeting. Or else, they don't get a voice. And it is announced in chapter "Our philanthropy chair did not submit a report this week. Next we will hear the report of the intramurals chair."
4) Each officer will develop a committee of brothers interested in supporting that particular office. For example, your scholarship chairman will have a committee of brothers who track study hours, maintain test files and keep track of brothers' grades. When a brother succeeds academically, the committee provides some kind of fraternity incentive.
5) If no one turns in officer reports, have the meeting anyway. Say "If you would like to be included on the agenda, you must submit a report to me by X day of the week. This week, as no one submitted reports, we're going to have an open discussion about...
a) The Creed (Have the chaplain recite your creed. Talk about what it means to the chapter)
b) The reputation of the fraternity and how to keep it strong (the recording secretary can take notes on an easel board)
c) Improvements you would like to see in the chapter
d) Etc.
Good Luck.
