This is my major problem with what you've offered to do. Do you have any experience in any state other than Texas? Are you licensed in any state other than Texas?
If not, then you have no business coming to any state other than Texas to offer any kind of advice. Yes, the United States Constitution applies everywhere, but the laws in every state differ, and the interplay between state laws and the US Constitution can differ as well.
You also need to understand that in many states, what you are proposing to do may well be considered the unauthorized practice of law. It doesn't matter whether you are charging a fee or not.
33girl is right -- while often the conversation around here is casual, you came here asking to be viewed as a professional. When that's the case, you need to write like a professional, or at least like someone with minimal competence.
And the suggestions that she and Kevin have made are good ones -- if you really want to help, contact campusspeak.com, local speakers' bureaus, local Pike chapters or the Greek offices of nearby colleges and universities. That would be much more effective than the posts you've offered here so far.
