Well, the collegiate members can recommend someone for termination and trump up some really nasty sounding charges. I know you mean the national office/council/HQ has to approve the termination, but AFAIK unless the member fights it, I think they usually go through.
Anyway.
tornup -
Here's a question - do you like the girls currently in your chapter? Do you feel comfortable with them and like you have a bond with them? Would you be friends even if you weren't sisters?
Also, I would wait until rush is over (assuming you have formal rush in the fall) to do anything - oftentimes one pledge class can turn a small chapter completely around. If you have friends that you think would be a good addition to the chapter, encourage them to rush. My big big's class came into the chapter (which was basically being run by 3 women) and said among themselves that they were going to change things and just
did it with who they rushed, how they presented themselves on campus, how they ran their offices. If they would have stood up at meetings and said "we are going to make a big change" it would have gone over like a lead balloon.
I'm not going to advise going in gangbusters and saying "we do all this stuff wrong and we must change" or going to your nationals because either way, you might end up without a chapter - either because you would end up quitting if the other sisters didn't agree with you, or because your national shut your chapter down. The only way I would recommend that is if hazing practices are going on that could endanger someone's life and/or health. (I don't get this from your post though, it sounds more like really bad operational issues.)
