I have an alternate twist for the question. Let's say you have a very small system (3 chapters). One of the "chapters" lost its charter a handful of years ago due to their conduct. The University does not recognize the greek system. THe womens groups have organized themselves into a fully functioning Panhellenic and have seen remarkable growth (even ADDING a chapter). The men's groups have no governing body and their chapter sizes are getting gradually smaller. The behavior of the mens groups is getting more audacious and risky. Consumption of alcohol is beyond good natured fun. The relationship to the university for the entire greek system is shaky. The women bend over backwards to keep under the radar of the university. The men want to thumb their noses at the administration. The men don't want to honor the risk management policies that the women's groups are bound to by their national organizations and pressure the women to hold "unoffical" events. The men refuse to talk about organizing themselves under the IFC umbrella (or any other umbrella) and put strategies in place to a) get a charter for their unchartered group, b) grow the overall size of their system (no doubt, they should have a lot more men involved). The men are killing their own system but no one seems to have a long-term enough view to care. The "advisors" to the mens groups are young and just as much a part of the problem. The national organizations are not even relevant in the situation.

What can be done? SHOULD anything be done?
