you
should be nominated for sainthood-or at least a high award within your organization!! it sounds like you are making headway, both with your national office and with your collegiate chapter.keep up the good work. it would seem to me that a non hazing chapter would be the one everyone would be trying to join, so keep reinforcing the non hazing message to your collegiate members and speading the word around campus. have you tried to set up a meeting of advisors from the other chapters on campus?maybe if all the advisors banded together to eradicate the hazing, it would gradually go away.
it also sounds like the chapter is not making the wisest decisions when choosing its officers. would it be possible for you and/or other advisors to review the proposed slate of officers before it is presented to the chapter, or could you conduct interviews beforehand with members interested in holding office? it sounds like they make poor choices, and might need to have that privilege(autonomous decision making) suspended for a time,maybe if they learn that hazing will not be tolerated and have their exact duties lined out for them, they will tow the line. good luck!lisa
