Unhappy Corrupt Campus Panhellenic

What do you do/what advice do you give to a chapter when it seems like their whole greek system is corrupt except them?

I’ve talked to at least two of my chapters who say that the other sororities dirty rush (and are rather obvious about it), infractions and consequences aren’t taken seriously, and their Panhellenic is barely functioning (sometimes it’s only their representative that shows up to the meeting!) The greek advisor seems to be no help. On one campus, the greek advisor was getting the names from our girls to check grades for COB, then telling the other groups who we were going to bid. Those groups (who are at/over total anyway) would then talk nasty and even bid promise the COB girls so they wouldn’t accept our bid. The advisor would also tell the other groups that AST would be losing their charter at the end of the year, and of COURSE that would be passed around during formal rush, resulting in only 1 bid match this year. Thank god that advisor is no longer there, but I think they have hired a person with no knowledge of Panhellenic issues, which means things won’t be fixed anytime soon. ON the other campus, the greek advisor just doesn’t seem to care…as long as noone is getting caught hazing or drinking or causing negative publicity, their job is done.

Don’t get me wrong, the chapters are having some internal issues of their own, so they aren’t entirely innocent in all of this. However, I have never known these chapters to bid promise or dirty rush, and all of this negativity going on around them isn’t helping. They are getting discouraged and it shows.

So, other than telling the chapters to get out there and dirty rush with the best of them , what advice can we give them? Has anyone else been in this situation, and if so, how was it resolved?

Thanks!
