Representing an absent Delegate

[Guest Alexander Martinez]

I am at conflict with the Inter fraternal council on my campus. Unfortunately my representative never attends meetings and is completely out of the loop with what my Fraternity is trying to do. Primarily amend a few different bylaws. I am trying to find out if there is a way the committee  can motion to vote allowing me to represent in place of him at our next meeting. They bylaws they use bar us from having a second delegate unless he was approved of at the first meeting. I have searched the Robert Order of Law which is what the committee runs off of for everything not stated in their bylaws. Is there a way the committee can monition to vote allowing me to represent my Fraternity through the Robert order of Law or will i have to drag our representative there and spend a few hours briefing him on what we needed done?

If I am understanding your question correctly you (and possibly a constituency) elected/selected someone to represent you at the Council meetings but he never goes to the meetings and you want to go to the meeting in his place.  If that is the case then (absent some rule in the bylaws saying otherwise) your only options to deal with someone being derelict in his duties is to remove him from office (using whatever procedures the bylaws provide or see RONR Chapter XX if they are silent on the issue) or when elections come around pick someone else.

Generally the body which elected or appointed your representative would have the power to remove or replace that individual. What is this committee? Unless this committee was given that power, it could not select a new representative.
