As an alumna who helps out our local collegiate chapter some, and has experienced the very type you refer to, they aren't the best for the chapter. But, sometimes, they are the only ones who will step up.
That said, Gamma Phi has a rule (unwritten, I believe and it might just be certain Province Officers) that the alums have to be out of college for a certain number of years before they can be advisors. They want them to be "removed" enough from the college experience.
If an alumna is causing a "problem" by being around all the time, try to get another alumna to help you out. We are there to make things easier for the collegiate chapter, not harder. Our first responsibility is to you.
