Give it a try. Whether or not they need help with the local chapter is questionable. They may since burnout is strong when dealing with chapters. I definitely had a different collegiate experience than the chapter I helped advise, but most of the alumnae on the advisory board were also from different chapters. The one piece of advice I would give you is to avoid the desire to say, "Well in my chapter we..." It makes collegians turn their ears off quicker than anything else! If there is a strong advisory group in place, join the alumnae group and get to know the women. You'll get to meet a lot of people in your area and learn a lot about your sorority. I bet they will welcome you with arms wide open. I found it very helpful when moving to Baltimore and miss my chapter so much now that I'm in Phoenix.
