To paraphrase Firehouse:

The purpose of these "plans" is to "redefine" the greek system based on the pc values of the institution.

If you accept the redefintion than you compete and strive to mold your chapter to match what those administrators value.

Your concept of "worth" as a chapter and as members is then defined by how well you meet the people in the administration's expectations.

You succeed by pleasing them, you fail by displeasing them.

If all the groups accept the "plan" it becomes self-regulating, where you judge and censor each other (chapters) by how well you please college administrators.

Much like competing with siblings for the affection of unreasonable parents or players with a bad coach.

The operative question is: Why would you entrust other people to define your self-worth based on their sense of appropriate behavior, which may they may not apply to themselves, nor have any legitimate basis in objective reality?

Thats just self destructive.
