Don't get me wrong. I've had a number of great experiences with HQ and the general fraternity. I really enjoyed being on International Ritual Team this summer as well as the rest of general assembly.
I just have alot of problems with the way they handle chapters and their methods for 'keeping touch' with chapters.
Most of the time my complaints about HQ are not that big, there of course are a few exceptions, but this is a large concern of mine. Why is their no general fraternity "Big Brother packets"? Why is their not a planned out fraternity education plan to help chapters? Every other group has their "pledge manuals" and their "pledge tests." How are we supposed to ensure that everyone in the fraternity knows about the organization, assosciate, active, and alumni?
There are alot of great resources for the delta, theta, phi, iota,...
what about the kappa and the big brother coordinator?
These positions are not well defined. "Fraternity educator" is not new member educator, so then what is it? What is their job? To set up speakers about chapter issues?
These are the issues we are facing right now, and I don't feel that HQ has easy solutions to these problems. Our relations with INT HQ have greatly improved over the years, but this is something they can really work on. Chapter services shouldn't be an ELC visit every semester, but ideas, help, packets, anything...
