As an idiot Greek Advisor...
The vast majority of Greek Advisors are members of a fraternity or sorority. While given there are some idiots in every profession, the vast majority of us would love to expand our Greek communities on our campuses. The reality is, many of us are hamstrung by upper-level administrators who don't care for Greek Life, and would rather see it slowly die than flourish. There are many of us who work dilligently to assist all our chapters on our campuses, especially the struggling ones. Every year I push my bosses for expansion only to be told no, they see no need for it. We are a commuter institution with 10,000 undergraduates and less than 4% Greek, yet time and again my bosses hold up the example of the national fraternity that established a colony that folded a year later (a very poorly managed expansion I might add). Anyway, the issue often lies higher up the chain of command than "Our idiot Greek Advisor won't let us expand."
