Well, this advisor needs to understand that chapters are required to have a minimum of *4* advisors, so its silly to speak of another advisor 'trying to take over'. ALL advisors should be involved, and ideally the chapter should have made it clear what their needs/expectations with regards to the advisors. (which you seem to be looking for)

I'm scheduled to be "initiated" as an advisor this Sunday night. (I had no idea there was an actual ritual for this, but apparently, there is) At that time, I'll talk to the Exec Board about what I need help with. I just don't want to embarass myself in front of the actives by not knowing what I'm doing.

There is no specific ritual to initiate advisors. Advisors who were not previously Brothers DO go thru the regular Initiation Ritual that all the pledges go thru to become Brothers, but advisors who are already Brothers do not need to do so. You would just fill in the paperwork, and ideally indicate your already assigned National number on the applications (you will be assigned a Chapter number in this chapter).

can an alumni brother "re-pledge" for reasons like this? Or at all?

It is rare to 're-pledge'. Its been done. Jack McKenzie did this. What is better is to sit in on the pledge program to get updated on APO, as well as learn the history and such about the chapter. Similiar to what chapters would require of transfer Brothers.
