Both posters above speak so true.
After being a Chapter for 40 years, we now have an Alumni Association and an Advisory Board.
We before had a core of Alums who did it all.
LXA has three distinct groupings:
1. Alum Advisory Board.
2. Alumni Association.
3. House Corp. that is if a house is envolved.
As was mentioned, the Alum Advisory Board is there to advise, not run the chapter.
The High Pi/Chapter Advisor has responibilty to advise and step in if neccessary if there are structural problems within the chapter.
If You have this many Alums who are willing to work with the chapter, feel lucky. It sounds like maybe the school is like mine and not that greatest of backing from said college.
