Read the OP. They don't want an AI, and they specify that. They want someone strong in recruitment, which is generally someone who's EXPERIENCED it. The OP might be from a struggling chapter, which is not a good place for a new AI.
There are definitely exceptions, especially for AIs who have been involved for awhile. But the poster I was refering to said that they should initiate a woman and then immediatly make her advisor. To me, that's like making a pledge president. I know that most chapters don't rely on their advisor(s) like they do their exec board, but from the OP, it looks like this chapter is expecting a lot from her.
AIs who have been a part of their sorority for awhile can make good advisors to solid chapters, but I wouldn't throw a brand new AI on a struggling chapter, that's just silly. Another reason is because I have come across AIs who don't know the basic info. I don't blame them for that, I blame whoever initiated them, but I still don't think that person would be my choice for an advisor.
