Honestly handle it. Be rational. Settle it and finish it and if there's no way to do that...
then the standards committee should be used.

Wise words.
There are, however, some items that come up every single year. When you have 3 members who are just generally making asses of themselves, your executive officers should handle it.
If these guys don't care enough to change, your organization might be better off without them.
When I was LC (like 1st VP) of my chapter, we had a serious issue between two members. I was in charge of exec, and we just let the situation simmer. We tried taking them aside, talking to them, etc.. Incidents continued to occur. The next officer group came along and within a month, one of these guys was given the option to change his behavior or leave -- he chose to leave.
My problem was not knowing when to put my foot down (and as an officer and a young person, this is very hard when it is you that is dealing with it). It's probably painfully obvious to your other brothers what needs to be done. Do something about it and do NOT let it get out of control.
If a formal process is what you need, fine, do it. If you just want to get 2-3 guys to talk to 'em and give the option to change or leave, that's another thing. Just do something.
