Secondly, nationals does treat different chapters differently. Our national org constantly looks the other way regarding things we do, and we generally ignore what they do. We don't follow the changes in terminology, or the PC'ing of our fraternity literature. We don't have a regional advisor, which I assume is due to the fact that they really just don't wanna know. It works for them, it works for us.

Glad someone finally posted something like this. People don't realize that the big powerful southern chapters really do get preferential treatment. Go to Alabama and have people tell you about things the SAE's have done there. Pretty amazing, and Nationals just turns the other cheek. Same with FIJI at Texas or Phi Delt at Ole Miss. So no, you can't just say, well, if you break the rules you will lose your charter. Not so...i've seen it plenty of times and so have others.
