WLFEO, I am totally and completely impressed by your description of the chaplain's possible duties!!! It was considered somewhat of a "throw away" position when I was in school, and I held it while in a Panhellenic office.

I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but... this was also a term where we did absolutely horrible at recruitment, and all we did was snap at each other for about a month. Finally, at one meeting, when called upon for my reading, I read Jabberwocky, which had everyone in hysterics! I told them that it was the first time I had heard some of them laugh WITH each other in ages, and it broke a lot of tension. One sister said, while wiping tears of laughter out of her eyes, "It wasn't just that you read that poem, but you actually finished it, with a straight face and everything!"

Maybe it was wrong - quite probably it was VERY wrong! - but it did signal a much needed change in our chapter! Sometimes, you just need to mix things up a little...
