Suggestions needed

What are some effective ways of telling the University that we are getting tired of being pushed around by the Greek Life staff and demand that we be allowed to govern ourselves as an IFC with minor University intereference? Need something that will get attention without screwing us all over... Any suggestions?

I previously served as a regional advisor (in Michigan), and had one chapter who's IFC/ Panhellenic were self-governed. (and it was a very large public university) They had a well defined judicial system and advisors that were paid from member dues... ultimately, that would have to be your first step. The university (especially a private university) will not relinquish control unless they see that there will be adequate oversight.

Not knowing 'how' the Greek Life staff is 'pushing around' member organizations, I can't be more specific. Bottom line, if you want to self-govern, prove that you can do it responsibly. Member organizations will need to stick together and push for what is best for all, and show the good things that they are doing.
