I second this BIG TIME. Alumnae can be as bad a helicopter parents, especially if the chapter has changed and they don't approve of how things are going. Advisers are one thing, because they do have the right to be there at the meetings, but even that can come off as overbearing and even make it seem like they don't trust the chapter to do it themselves. My sisters and I would have thought it very strange and out of place if alumnae started showing up at chapter... Even our alumna adviser was like a helicopter mom and it got really bitter by the end.
