I'm a regional advisor for eight chapters. Some of these groups have chapter advisors, and that's great. Unfortunately, they don't all have them, which leaves me as their advisor. I don't want to smother the women with advice, but when I notice a problem or a good deed, I let them know it. This way problems are nipped in the bud or good deeds get their props immediately. Also, if you make the chapter comfortable with you, then they are more willing to accept you. Often times, actives see advisors as "Big Bad HQ people", and that's not the point
