For Phi Mu Alpha, only men can be initiated as honorary members. Only brothers can be advisors. So, as a general rule, honorary initiations and advisor positions are limited to men.
I say "as a general rule" because, as I have mentioned on GC before, there was a period from the mid- to late-70s until the mid-80s when, while our Title XI status was being sorted out, a relatively small number of chapters (22) were given permission to initiate women. That option ended in 1985, but the 236 women validly initiated while the option was in place are considered true Sinfonians. I know of at least one who serves as advisor to a chapter.
