I totally agree that this should be the Inter/National org putting these things in place. AGD has had a 5 star program for it's chapters for as long as I can remember, but it's something to strive for and there are no punishments for not making all of your stars. Conversely, it's quite an honor to be a 5 star chapter. It simply sets out what goals WE see as important for our chapters.
I am very concerned overall by the increasing amount of intrusion that administrations are putting on GLOs. I don't think they micromanage all the other student organizations on campus like they are trying to do with the Greeks. Our organizations' goals should be up to us, not up to the University. They don't know what principles we were founded on. I bet they couldn't recite our Purpose or name a Founder. They do not know what our letters stand for. IF they own the housing that Greeks are using, then they are entitled to some controls there, but otherwise, it's none of their business. When events are held on campus, sure they have to follow campus policies. Outside of that, our business is our business.
