Yes, I am on the chapter listservs of the chapters I advise. Also, as a sectional staffer overseeing several chapters, I am on their listservs as well (as is our section chairman).

Some chapters use their listservs well, others don't. By having advisors (and appropriate alumni volunteers/leaders) on them, they are kept in the loop as to possible problems, etc. I've never cared for the attitude of some advisors that they will just wait until they are contacted about something. This usually means they may not hear about a problem until its really serious, or be left out of stuff because 'someone forgot to tell the advisors'.
