On the points you named, he's terrible. We've lost seven houses, the system is less than half the size it was, and the chapters hardly speak to one another. But that would have happened with or without him- our Greek system is self-destructing. Imagine everything that the undergrads in a Greek system can do wrong. Now multiply it by 500. Imagine houses $18,000 behind in payments to their nationals, roofs caving in, rapes, assaults, brawls.....no deaths yet, but I'm sure that's coming. Hazing that cuts pledge classes by three-quarters by the end of the semester. And every weekend, 2000 drunk underclassman wandering the town's main thoroughfare on their way back from the row.
He's kept us floating through all that- spun every piece of bad press, minimized damage where he could, cut chapters off where he had too. My chapter relies on him- we're not even two years old, and we have a clean record, but every time another house does something wrong, the administration threatens to crack down and restrict the rights of all Greeks. Last year, the administration wanted to close all Greek housing. He convinced them to just set new standards- if he hadn't done that, we wouldn't be in our new-to-us house.
So......he's like the head of a small school for the mentally retarded. He can't really improve their situation, but he can keep them from burning the building down.
