This is all pretty good training for the corporate world and it probably won't be the first time you're put in a position where you are smarter/more qualified than your supervisor. In this case, you are blessed with the knowledge that if your chapter accomplishes certain things or if X amount of time passes, this person will no longer have much influence over your chapter.

You would do well to heed the advice being given to you here regarding documenting everything. Make sure you make a written record of all of your concerns. You might, for example, with regard to the recruitment things being changed at the last minute, email your adviser and your exec board some of your observations and maybe a what worked/what didn't work/what we need to pass on to the officers next year sort of analysis. This works to confirm who did what/made what decision and place it on the record while inviting them to comment and make admissions they might not make if your email takes a "you effed up, it's your fault" sort of tone.

If you fail to document the heck out of these things, in your chapter or in the corporate world, inevitably, when and if failure occurs, the incompetent superior will blame you and you'll be ready.
