You need balance between responsibility and fun. You need the social side to foster comraderie and a sense of in-it-togetherness. If it's all obligation, it's not worth the effort to participate.

Gusteau (and the others) are right -- you've created an us-against-them dynamic between the exec board and the chapter. To be honest, I'd resent the hell out of it if I were on the receiving end of it.
