Congrats on getting an interview!! If you mean you removed your position as an advisor from your resume...well, I really can't say if that was the "right" decision or not since you didn't mention what type of positions it is. You only mentioned you'd have the opportunity to work in e-business (YAY). Having Alum Advisor on your resume could be interpreted as showing responsibility and trustworthiness, leadership/supervisory/team leader skills, planning and implementation skills, etc. On the other hand, it could be a mark against you because the interviewer may be a "greek-hater" and view you as someone who "could not let go," even though you know you accepted the position out of love for the organization. The advice I've been given regarding adding your greek afiliation to your resume is unless you've had significant leadership experience (president of the chapter, implemented a new program, held national or regional office, you know the "big" stuff) leave it off. BUT that's not to say you can't work it into the interview. Almost every interviewer will ask you to tell him/her why you're qualified for the position. Being greek is part of your experience and if you can relate it to the position, go for it.

OH, I ditto what Eclipse said (including the part about the coaching fee LOL)
