When people aren't willing to put in that little effort, there's no reason they should get to party.

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.
