Maybe this is more of a topic for older sisters/alum

What is your opinion on Team Excellence, vs Parliamentary Procedure, like Robert's Rules of Order?

Parliamentary Procedure and Team Excellence are two different things. One give rules on how to conduct a meeting and the other tells a chapter how to organize officers and responsibilities. You can't compare them. A chapter can use Robert's Rules and Team excellence at the same time. The two very rarely overlap.

so then why are so many chapters treating it like team excellence out weights RRO, and don't use RRO :-(

team excellence doesn't "out weigh" robert's rules of order. it can't. they are two different things.

Team Excellence and Robert's Rules of Order are totally and completely different. Team Excellence is all about the structure of the sorority as a whole, how to run the individual teams more effectively so they coordinate in the big picture.

Robert's Rules of Order is strictly about how to run a meeting. Truthfully, I don't think that small chapters need it -- how big is your chapter? I would say that anything hovering around 40 sisters and below doesn't really need RRO in it's pure form. If the sisters of a smaller chapter want formality (and really, I don't know who would, but hey, to each her own), I think it's wiser to just adopt a scaled down version of RRO that's less concerned with formality and more concerned with sisterly communication.

For large chapters, like 50 and above, I think RRO would probably be the most efficient way to hold everything together. I'm still not seeing your correlation between Team Excellence and RRO, I think you should read them both again to fully understand the difference, unless I'm totally missing something you're trying to say.
