I doubt that any national HQ would support something like this, even if it is presented as "self policing" and a positive thing for the Greek community. Unless someone drives trucks of $$$ up to their door to make up for what they'll lose in new member fees - which at a large school like that isn't chicken feed.
Good point, but I also see the flip side of the money issue - sooner or later, unfortunately this will probably happen in our lifetime - a national organization will be sued to such a degree that the entire organization folds. It almost happened to ATO just a couple of years ago. Several other national organizations are involved right now in multi-million dollar lawsuits. Either we make the changes internally, or a court may be the external influence to a "death sentence" on a national organization.
