some schools
require each organization to have a faculty advisor. while i was a student at fl. state, we did not haved faculty advisors. i am now the general advisor for the zta chapter at florida gulf coast u. and they do have faculty advisors-we are lucky that ours just happens to be a zeta!now whether the faculty advisor for the other groups actually shows up for meetings or is even invited to them is up for grabs.
tom, your advice was very good.
munchkin, even though the chapter you are advising is not your chapter of initiation, being so close in age to the chapter members may interfere with them taking you seriously. you would have to distance yourself from them, i.e., not go out partying with them. it might be more fun at the present to have sisters to hang out with, when you need a break from your graduate studies.
working with a chapter is very rewarding, but it can also be tough. like tom said, sometimes we are required to make unpopular decisions and make those collegians tow the line. they seem to accept it a lot better if it doesn't come from a contemporary.
