What is your experience with this? My own sorority has a chapter located in a very rural area with the only alumnae support several hours away. Their chapter adviser is an AI. She is a dear and wonderful person who has learned along with the chapter. I have been a chapter adviser. Starting out, you don't know very much. That is what time and training with your sorority (or working with the faculty Greek adviser/equivalent) are for.

What are collegiate organizations supposed to do if they have no area alumnae? Not have any advisory support? I agree-- I think that someone who was involved in college may have a basic understanding of sorority principles-- not every group has this luxury. But they do have the benefit of time and a willingness to learn.
