I already thought about not permitting them to participate in Greek campus events, that I know they LOVE to do (and are reigning champs in many of them). Most members said that wouldn't deter them.

To others, it's not just "sorority BS", the parties (yes, even someone's birthday party) are NOT permitted if they are breaking the local, state or federal laws. They are also not permitted if they are hazing at the parties.

I'm not talking about a casual or impromptu gathering. I'm talking about organized (name tags, themes, etc.), and these are subject to both laws and the GLO's risk management policies.

This group has had many educational workshops, so they can't argue they didn't know the rules.

Pulling of the charter has been considered, a couple of different times, however the HQ has decided that the chapter and members have alot to offer in the way of leadership, scholarship, etc. The chapter is teetering on the edge of existence, but the members don't seem to care about that.

I don't want to argue about the rules, and if they are too strict. They are what they are. I'm trying to figure out ways to incent the collegiate members to follow the rules (and to realize the risks they are placing THEMSELVES and the entire GLO).

Maybe what I'm hearing here is the only things that would work are (a) revoking the charter or (b) taking membership action against the rule-breakers (that's most of the current chapter members).
