We have a mentoring group that works with the active chapter and does a retreat yearly.
These are our Alums so have a more first hand grip on the situations whether we like them or not!
Advisors are at the whim of the local org. They are asked to be an advisor! This is a job that they asked to do! If they are not doing the job, tell them work it out or get rid of them! It may be hard but if it is a detriment then they are not advising you but trying to run you!
For a long time I was the ear that my House cried on because of two Alums who busted ass. Well after hearing all of the wailing and weeping I found out the real problem!!!! Not the Alums who were trying to do right but the chapter! When I started getting into them a little bit, all of a sudden I became the enemy!
If you sit down with the Advisor, and talk with them and they cannot get with the program if it their fault then so be it! Time to find a new one! If it is the fault of the Chapter, then get tose individuals staightened out! In this Society of ours today, NO ONE likes athority figurs as YOU CANNOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO! Well, being in a Greek Org. is not a right, it is an honor!
You are selected, you do not pick, you are selected because there is something that is seen in you that they want to associate with and help build what has been built by the many people before you!
In OR out IT is Your Choice! Do or get gone as you are not helping out!!
