I don't think it's bad per se, just misdirected somewhat. It seems as though these plans look at the entire Greek system which is to be expected, but not individual groups. While we are a part of that, I just feel that having all of these standards homogenizes the system so that there isnt much difference between ABC and XYZ.
My biggest issues, like I said before, are overprogramming and with some of them - a negative recognition system. Outside of that I don't think it's fair to publish "ratings". For some groups I could see it being warranted but what about a group that is struggling - that blanket policy could be the thing that hurts your group.
Also my first thoughts when I saw something like this is more work for the chapter advisor. Sure it is the chapter's responsibility to plan the activities to meet the requirements, but obviously advisor's have to be familiar with the program and remind the chapter about fullfilling the requirements.
