My alma mater demands that the primary, main advisor be a faculty member. They don't care what your HQ says - if you don't have a faculty advisor, you're not a recognized organization. If you can't find a member, you make do with what you have. They can't go to ritual or things like that, but if it's the choice of having a little-involved advisor or not being on campus at all, it's a no-brainer.
But of course, none of that helps rebelgirl as she isn't on any university's staff. I'll say to you again: you are in your provisional year with Junior League. Give that your all - as that IS the most respectful thing to do - and quit thinking about a sorority.
