It's been over 20 years since I was a chapter adviser so things probably have changed. I remember approving/disapproving themes for events.
My question - Do chapters still have to run mixer themes past an adviser? If not, situations like this certainly suggest to me that it might be a good idea. If so, some advisers need more cultural awareness.

Yeah, but like "hey, we're having a fiesta" probably wouldn't raise an eyebrow with most advisers.

On our campus, groups have to register events with the office of greek life. That office has always been really good about letting advisers know when their groups are considering questionably themed parties.

While training for advisors is up, I think I would have to say the number of advisors and probably how long they have been advisors or stay in an advisory position is down. If the ratio of members to advisors is topping 100:1 - you might not have picked up on fiesta night as a problem (although I would have give the mustaches the side eye....)
Sounds like time for more PR and RM training.....

It also depends if the advisor is someone who's actually on campus, or someone who's actually Greek.
I honestly can say I don't think our advisors knew when we were having mixers, let alone what the themes were.
