Has anyone ever advised a chapter besides their own?

You mean it's a sorority other than Sigma Kappa?

We had a Zeta housemom, an independant Standards advisor, and a Kappa Alpha Order financial advisor.

Once when I was an undergrad, our campus advisor (who is a member) abruptly resigned due to personal issues and another advisor (who is an AKA) took over as our advisor. At first we thought it might be awkward but it wasn't. She was really nice and supported us by attending some of our events. Today, the same undergrad chapter is advised by a member of Kappa Alpha Psi (an NPHC fraternity), so it doesn't have to matter.

Bottom line, if you have respect for all the NPC organizations, you will have no trouble supporting them and being a good advisor.

We had an ADPi alumna from Ole Miss help advise at the AOII chapter at Ole Miss. Since ADPi is no longer on campus that is allowed. I would think it would be fun. Obviously you probably won't be privy to rituals and maybe Chapter Relation issues but helping in other ways is probably a great way to make a diverse advising team. I would totally do it.

Yes, sorry if I did not make that clear.

About a year and half ago I moved to a state with no Sigma Kappa chapters and no Sigma Kappa alumnae chapters, so I am dying to get back involved (even if it is with another chapter). I was asked to advise this chapter and it sounds to me (with the responsibilities that were explained to me) like it is a regular advising position (What I mean to say is the responsibilities were the same responsibilities that I had while advising for sigma kappa).
