I mean, I know that groups want advisors for the chapters that live near the chapters, but why does a collegian have to wait x number of years after graduating to do so, and an alumna initiate can jump right into advising?

I think part of the waiting period is to put some distance in time between her collegiate years and alum service. It helps redirect the "collegiate" mindset. It is really really hard to advise a chapter when you were "party buddies" with current members. A person's experience and advise just will not carry the same weight as advise from a sister a few years removed from that phase of GLO life.
