maybe this is just mine, but how would a chapter afford to bring in a speaker from campusspeak? that would be ridiculously expensive. however, working with a SARF to 'implement' the idea your chapter had might be good. they might be able to work with administration to get funding or they could find another office on campus to co-sponsor the speaker so they could actually come.
i just don't see why you have a such a problem with this school doing somthing they think will help Greeks. I think that is great. The amount of money they must be setting aside for this is awesome. My school would never ever show that much support for our greek system.
and on another note, it is more opportunity for greeks in graduate school to make some money for school while helping out the greek community they love so much. i wish my grad school would have these as an option for a grad assistantship. most schools only have 1 ga position in greek life and that is the only way to be directly involved with greeks and get paid (being an alumni advisor rocks too but unfortunately it doesn't pay the bills).
also, UMD is known as having the most progressive higher ed grad and doctorate programs and are at the forfront of many nwe things in the feilds of student affairs. if this doesn't work out, they will try something different. but being negative about something we don't expereince first hand is not helping anyone.
