The 5 yr rule actually pertains to your own chapter. Because you may still be friends with girls in the chapter when you graduated or still have close relations with the chapter where the girls may not necessarily see you as an authority figure, they usually won't select you to help your chapter out until you're out 5 yrs.

However, there are exceptions to that rule. In cases where there is a lack of interest to become an advisor or the chapter's need to have someone fill the advisory position is more important than how long they have been out or if your qualifications are far better than any candidate who has been out 5 yrs, you can become an advisor. In these situations, the DTD normally has to approve you before you can become an advisor.

Hope that clears things up.
Oh sweetie, I wasn't referring to you. I'm so sorry you thought that. I was referring to the recruitment advisor at one of the Arizona chapters.

Two questions, what does DTD stand for? The second question, how does it work if you know for a fact that a chapter doesn't have all of their advisors, that no one in the city is willing to step up to the plate but when someone does want to step up to the plate to help the chapter out the PD says no? (I ask because this actually happened to me).

That makes sense with the five year rule, but why would a chapter elect to have an advisor who is fresh out of college ADVISE the chapter she graduated from? I totally get a different chapter, you don't know the girls. Someone please explain this to me, cause I'm having a serious blonde moment.
