The least innocuous thing I can think of is something like assistant financial advisor. It's probably the most cut & dried. Keep her far away from recruitment or standards/risk management, at any rate.

Another option is to contact your national volunteer coordinator (if there is such a thing) and see if there's some kind of national committee or task force she can serve on. This is what I ended up doing w/ my sorority, for various reasons, and it's been a much better fit for me than working with a chapter. This way she stays involved but it's not with her chapter directly.

I know that she probably loves her chapter and wants to help them specifically, but someone that young - especially if she has a sister, especially if she is still coming to the school to visit a lot - will cause friction when she takes on any authority position.

My one suggestion is that you find something she can help with, and to invite her to the official events (ritual founders' day whatever it is for your org.). If she wants to be involved and knows the chapter needs help, and is not included in some way, it can backfire and make her not want to be involved in the long run. That scenario can affect the chapter since she has a relative currently in it.

You're fortunate to have women who want to be involved as alumnae, and I hope it all works out for you.
