Now that's COMPLETE BS.

A woman who joined in college umpteen years ago and just happens to live in the area probably isn't going to understand their needs either. Things are a lot different now than they were even 15 years ago. And actually a mother or friend who has been around the chapter and has some ties to it probably WILL know a few things about them.

All it takes is someone willing to take the time and figure out what the girls need and how best for them to succeed. That's not rocket science.
Please re-read what I said. A woman who was just initiated as an AI is a member of a sorority but she does not know enough about sororities to make a good advisor. A woman who was initiated 15 years ago may be out of the loop, but she knows how sororities work. These girls aren't looking for a friend, they're looking for an advisor to help them out. A mother or a friend might have trouble seeing things objectively, whereas a stranger who doesn't have ties to the sorority does not. I don't understand why people are getting so worked up about this, if you owned an advertising company, you wouldn't hire a college grad who majored in bio and has zero advertising experience to be the CEO.
