I wholeheartedly agree that chapters vary. For example, what Chapter A does before or after meetings may be different than Chapter B's. Yet ritual, new member education, pledging, initiation et al. are generic to that fraternity and it's chapters.
As such, what individual members of a chapter may do - either together or separately - would not be part of that chapter's programs. It might be part (peer pressure perhaps) of that chapter's or even the campus experience - Greek or otherwise - but not a program.
For example, getting good grades and building bonds with your brothers are part of the whole fraternity experience. Yet neither "Hey, after the chapter meeting we are all going to the library to study. Want to come?" or "The legal aged members are going to the popular college bar for responsible drinking, please join us if you like." would be considered part of a chapter's program.
