Has anyone ever advised a chapter besides their own?

We are two very different organizations with different agendas. How would a member of another group deal with the national organization, etc? Just asking.

Why would the campus advisor have to deal with the national organization? Probably NPHC and NPC orgs handle this differently since with us the campus advisor is just that, the campus advisor. They only exist because the campus requires that we have them and this person (usually a faculty member or administrator) doesn't have to be a member of our organization or any organization for that matter. The real advisement comes from the alumnae chapter responsible for advising a particular undergrad chapter. This advisor is the one that has to deal with Nationals and since she is a member of the sorority, there is no issue.
