Even contacting brothers at other chapters makes more sense than coming to Greekchat and asking random Greeks.

It sounds like you may be confusing committee
meetings with a committee
structure -- how committees take care of business rather than the need for them at all.
In a parliamentary procedure sense, committees exist to keep the entire body from having to discuss everything in detail. It's the committees' to job to get down into the details -- to do the main work -- and make recommendations to the full body so that the full body can work efficiently. Or, if the full body has authorized it, to carry out functions on behalf of the full body.
How often committees need to meet and how much they need to to do will vary according to the chapter's needs and the committee's responsibilities. As others have suggested, use your fraternity's resources to help you figure out what your fraternity expects and what you could or should be doing.
