I know that some stupid stuff happened because there wasn't an alum to tell them "no". Is that common? How many advisors does a chapter usually have? Do they just attend meetings and rush, or are they more "hands on"?


Great point and usualy Chapters have one designated Adviser. LXA Advisers are requried to get training and is paid for by the IHQ if any travel is needed.

If a Chapter does not ahve one, they need one to help supervise them.

When things get out of hand, they need a figure to help 'Advise" them when the screw up! Most do not enough sense to pour water out of a boot!
