President who doesn't have the time?

And question.. how long has the President had this position? Is he new to the whole thing, or has this been going on for a while?

Good point. If he's new, he may just need formal training.

OP: Does your chapter have an officer transition workshop?

This isn't delegating, this is ignoring your duties and pushing them on to the second in command. The VP should not have the task of re-delegating (for lack of a better word).

I agree...the Vice President is not the President Assistant. To the OP, you may want to check your fraternity's guidelines for officers. I know that each officer position in AOII has a distinct set of responsibilities, and I'd bet that your fraternity does as well. You may want to copy the job descriptions of each officer and hand them all to the president, as well as the corresponding description to each officer. It's a little less than subtle way to tell him that it's not your job to do his job.
