I went to college in New England, but I live in NYC. It was really hard for us to keep a solid advisory team for any longer than a year, and in part that's because most people tend to either go to the big cities or back to where they came from after college. As a result, there's not a ton of alumnae to pick from to serve as advisors. Most of our advisors lived/worked in the Boston area, and it's an hour between Providence and Boston. Most of our non-chapter alum advisors, unless the advisory position was a stepping stone to something else, weren't that committed to sticking it out with a chapter to which they had to travel at least an hour each way after work, in addition to having a family, etc.
