Consequences for Recruitment Infractions
Other than fining, what kind of consequences have you guys seen that are effective? Fining does not work on my campus - and from what I hear, doesnt work on most campuses, since the problem houses who dont know how to play fair will set aside money in their budget or call on an alum to pay for their fines since they know they will dirty rush anyway. I need some ideas to take to panhellenic for constitution and rules revisions.
The best idea I've heard so far is forcing the problem chapter to go to the other chapters on campus, with anapoligy - with their new members in tow - and to give a panhellenic program - give examples of dirty rush techniques that are not acceptable (examples of things that chapter actually did). This makes the problem chapter eat their humble pie in front of their new members, and makes the new members realize that those things are not acceptable so when they start recruiting the following year, they dont say 'Well, I joined because you did X, Y and Z for me...." when X, Y and Z were rush infractions that shouldn't have been done in the first place... but obviously, this kind of consequence can only be used so often...
I'm curious - what kinda of consequences do you have on your campuses - consequences that actually make chapters scared enough to not break the rules?
Thanks.
