On my campus, groups would do fundraisers with Krispy Kreme and make a FORTUNE! Students could make orders ahead of time, and there would be a pick-up date, time, and place (usually in the student union) where they could get their donuts. Some extra boxes would also be ordered so people could buy them there on the spot if they wanted.

Unless ASTalumna is talking about about the school forcing you to have a faculty member as an advisor.
I guess "elect" might not be the best word. It's not as though we had a group of alumnae all vying for the position, and the chapter was able to pick and choose who to put in the position. But we did vote (once every 2 years, I believe) to keep the current advisor we had. Our chapter advisor was awesome and has held the position for at least a decade (maybe close to two decades now?), so voting was basically just a formality. However, if there had been multiple people who wanted the job, then yes, it would have essentially been an election, but we all know that advisors don't just grow on trees.. on some campuses (mine included), advisory boards are difficult to fill.
