Local PH oversight of chapters ...

[gogoaphi]

I would like to get some feedback on how much other PH's are "involved" in the operations of their member chapters. Does your PH try to enforce that certain policies are in place in your chapter in the areas of scholarship and risk management? Do they try to enforce those rules by a point system? Do they do something punitive if your points fall below a certain range such as withhold recognition at Greek Awards? How far can a PH go before its nose is too much in an individual chapter's business? How far can they go before they are interfering with the group's national organization's oversight?

Thoughts????

Thanks!

There are Greek Organizations from all here.

Just asking you to be more explicifit.

I thought that when it came to things like point systems, 5 stare etc, those were overseen by the Greek Life or student affairs office, not the college Panhel. Evaluations of programming should be made by administration/faculty, not other students.

Panhellenic can see a LOT of things that national organizations don't. You can be all smiles and goodness when your traveling consultant comes to town, but few chapters maintain the charade all year for their fellow students and sorority members.

Anything that affects the Greek system as a whole, affects Panhellenic. I know at my school, our Greek Life advisor would be the person who would know if we were violating Risk Management rules. Panhellenic and nationals should be working in tandem... but I would need more specific examples to feel like Panhellenic was overstepping its boundaries.
