President who doesn't have the time?

So I have a President who doesn't seem to have the time to do anything that outside of his job. For instance, I have not been able to sit down with him (I'm VP) to talk about what's going on with the chapter.

It's also frustrating because he delegates every single task onto me, many times I tell him "No, I can't do it" and in the end, I end up doing the task last minute because he refuses to delegate it to anyone else. Sometimes I am successful on delegating it to someone else, but that is rare.

It's gotten to the point where at a recent meeting, someone raised thier hand and said "Ok, so you're been philanthropy chair for the past 7 months and you haven't done a damn thing. Why don't you have someone else do it?" and his response was "I'll think about it." Also, there's a lot of contracdicting between me and him at the meetings which the chapter notices.

I try many times to get him to talk to me about things, but he always using the excuse "I have homework to do or study". Last week I attempted to talk to him while he was playing video game, but he then complained about not having time to relax and blah blah blah, which ended up with me saying "forget it, if you don't have williness to talk about things, it won't be a productive meeting."

So with that backstory, I'm here on the boards looking for suggestions/tips on the following things:

a) Getting him to sit down and have a proper conversation with me.
b) Having him realize that he can't be delegating every task to me.
c) Also have him realize that as an officer of the fraternity, he needs to sacrafice time to do his job.
