I know I said before that being an AI shouldn't matter, but I wonder why they made a new AI the ritual advisor--that seems a little bit like they may have the wrong person in the wrong seat on the bus. (It's nothing personal, I just know from experience it often takes experience to fill roles like that....going through rituals more than once helps.)
I agree with what everyone has said about defining your role with the chapter--talk with other advisors, talk with the president etc. to determine how your skills can best match the needs of everyone involved.
I do not know if you were Greek as a collegian (I was in a local as an undergrad)--but it can be difficult to learn all the lingo, all the traditions, all structures in just a few months. Even with training, it takes time to acclimate. I was a volunteer for more than 2 years before I felt comfortable with all the specific info about the group, and even today I am still learning.
There are many ways to volunteer--if you're really unhappy as an advisor, you might look into something on the national or regional level where you can learn more about the organization, and still contribute your skills to benefit the organization.
