Again, something that looked good on paper .. creating something for the philanthropy .. but not so good in practice.

Thanks to everyone for the explanation. I can say I learned something on GC today.
I imagine everyone in a national/international organization has some experience with the "looked good on paper" phenomenon. I would think if I were a PNM/rushee, what I'd be interested in philanthropy-wise is why
this GLO chose
this philanthropy, how the GLO supports the philanthropy nationally, how the chapter supports the philanthropy (or, "what would I be expected to do"), and maybe what it has meant to one or two chapter members to be connected to the philanthropy.
