No system is perfect and not all consultants are suited to being a resident. I agree that she should not be doing the work for colony officers and that doubleblue&gold was not well served by her RC. On the other hand, I have worked with two colonizations and both were blessed with excellent resident consultants. It is a challenge to take 100 strangers and facilitate them becoming a chapter or take a local with it's own structure and tradition and rework those traditions into Pi Beta Phi. It is not easy and our consultants don't sit around all day designing T-shirts or planning recruitment. She may plan and facilitate recruitment workshops, small group meetings, work one-on-one with officers (most often at night... how many of you go late into the night with meetings/ events?) but is also doing 'behind the scenes' work to plan the Installation, communicate with other officers and help train alumnae advisors. Since these alumnae are NOT from that campus, and may not have worked with chapters in the past, they may not be ready to just jump in immediately.
