Adviser Roll Call
 

Are there any advisers out there?

Yeah I am advisor for Theta. I am the VPE advisor as well as the rush advisor. I absolutely love it, I would say that it is very rewarding and it is my way to give something back to something that was so special in my life.

I'm House Advisor for Epsilon Kappa chapter of KKG at the University of South Carolina. Since I have no daughters of my own, I love being involved with these exceptional young ladies. They are a big boost to my ego also whenever they are happy to see me at meetings, recruitment, etc.!

USC has set aside some property for Greek housing, and Kappa is just about ready to break ground. The house should be ready by 8/1/03, just in time for recruitment!!! If I continue as House Advisor, my job will take on some added responsibility in the near future.

Philanthropy Advisor for the Phi Mu Gamma Gamma Chapter(Queens University) in Charlotte, NC

VPE Adviser for AOII's Mu Lambda chapter at Rollins College.

I just completed my first semester as Campus Relations Advisor for AGD's Delta Sigma chapter at UH-Manoa. :D

While I am not an Advisor in the sense that you all are , as I am 2 hours away from the Chapter!

But I am on the Mentoring Committee, The House Corporation,, House Building and Alum Association Committee!

I admire each and everyone of you for spending your time with your Chapters!

It takes dedicated Alums to help make it work!

Keep the faith as you can gert burned out as I have many times!

But you suck it up and drive on ahead!

Remember, You are the Best of the Best! So I guess that says it all!:D

I'm just starting as Scholarship Advisor and am the Treasurer of the House Corp Board.

Laura

I was advisor for my chapter for four years, served as house corporation president for four years, and am entering my fourth year as a campus Greek Life Advisor.

I would rather be an advisor than chapter house landlord anyday!

I am not currently a chapter adviser but was Membership Adviser for Delta Gamma Chapter of ZTA (High Point University) and was Membership Adviser and General Adviser for many years at Eta Tau Chapter at UNC-Charlotte. I was Province President for ZTA for six years - western NC. I am now responsible for seeing that the Panhellenic Scholarships are given at Queens University ($1,100 per year) and UNCC ($1,500 per year). My husband is adviser to Gamma Lambda Chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma at UNCC and I work with those guys when they need some female help.

There is nothing that can compare with guiding college age members as they mature and urging them to remain active as alumnae and alumni.:)

I am the new Standards Advisor for the Delta Upsilon chapter at UGA.

Houstonchica....
 

...you know they just picked you to do that because you are so matronly!!!!!:D :D :D :D

Just kidding -- I am CERTAIN you will be awesome in the job and the girls will be glad you're there!:)

Re: Houstonchica....
 

Well...from one aging hottie to another-Thank you! I am looking forward to it.:D :D :D

I'm the panhellenic advisor for the Gamma Phi chapter of ZTA at the University of North Texas in Denton. It's an hour's drive from my house so I do as much as I can by phone or e-mail.

I have been my chapter's House Corp President for a few years now! I love it and always tell others to get more invovled with chapters, you really don't know how rewarding it is until you are back in the swing of things!

i'm the vice president of the House Corporation Board of the Alpha Alpha chapter of Gamma Phi Beta. i am also helping start an alumnae group in the Toronto area and will be a member of the Alpha Omega chapter house corp. board in the near future.

On average, what is the time requirement for Chapter advisors? My interests are recruitment and community service. I'm still learning about the AI process. Cutiepie200o or Tom can you PM me w/ hints. Thanks!

bsp,

time depends on what you want to put into it. I serve on the House Corp. and we meet 2 times a year officially. Alum Asso. meets monthly for social, but of course the Chapter is discussed since we are trying to build a new house. Keeper and finder of emails for the Alums.

Distance means a lot, are you near the chapter?
Are you currently active with the chapter.?

Advisor is exactly what says, advising the chair of the active chapter of that position. Can be done in person or via phone.

I for one would not give a second thought about advising as have been doing it for a LOOOOONG Time!:D

You can put as much time as you feel you can.

Just say GO!

Would any of you recommend a recent graduate being an advisor for a chapter other than her chapter of initiation? I would like to remain involved, and I know a lot of stuff that I feel is needed and would lie stagnant even in an alumnae chapter, but I just feel way too young to be a chapter advisor already! Any advice would be appreciated!

Also Tom, our last advisor lived 3 hours away! She came to chapter faithfully every week. I'm sure it was tough for her, but it is possible!

I think it would work fine as long as it ISN'T your chapter of initiation - it is too hard to "advise" people that you were living with/partying with only 6 months prior. There used to be age requirements but I think as the need for volunteers has increased those have pretty much fallen away.

just in general...i am a long way from any of this, and havent really asked around my chapter, but how does one go about running for advisor type positions, or anything along those lines? thanks a lot! :)

i think it is best to wait a little while before you become an advisor....even if you won't be advising your own chapter. when you first graduate, you need time to distance yourself. even in a different chapter, you will be just a little older than the current members. it will be hard for the chapter to respect you...and will definately be difficult for you to not come off being a complete and total "know it all." i don't mean that you would present yourself that way.....but that the chapter will perceive you that way. it is hard to take direction from peers...and whether you like it or not...you will be a peer. go enjoy life as an alum. get involved with the alum group and your chapter's alum association. enjoy the "drama-free" life of an alum and in 3 or so years, you will be a fabulous advisor!

You can definitely be an advisor right after you graduate. I graduated in 2001 and started advising my chapter that fall with recruitment. Now I still do it, and I'm about to start as the Recruitment Advisor at another chapter as well. I have never had any problems with people not respecting me or listening to me because I was too young. They will only see you as a peer if you let them. Also, who says they have to know that you just graduated anyway? If you make sure to present yourself as an adult, you'll be seen that way. It's so much fun to be an advisor, and it's great when you feel you've made a difference. Good luck!
