When you consider how many cities have 3-4 chapters in their area, the Parents club could take a lot of the strain off of Advisors, which allows them to address the more important matters. I'm thinking about the little things, such as Clean Up Day(s), Finals Feeds, Spirit Boosters - that type of thing, but I'm sure there's more. If you'd like, I can PM you the details from the old pledge book when I get home.

Keep in mind that when that book was published, most women didn't have jobs and were stay-at-home mothers and housewives. Women today are much more likely to have a job, and therefore have less time to commit to other activities such as being on a parents' club for their daughters' sororities.
