Absolutely. We try to have an advisor, asst. advisor, house corp. committee (alum and actives) for every chapter. We also try to have mentors. In addition, we try to have a Division VP for every few chapters (that's was I was until recently) to back up the Advisors.
Problem is that, depending on the chapter location, we might not have enough (or any) alums in the area willing to donate the time and energy. In addition, there are potential liability problems for advisors now -- even though the Fraternity has insurance for them as well.
In some cases, we have house mothers or even proctors -- and if they're strong enough, that may be one of the strongest solutions because the advisor doesn't live at the house and can't be a 24/7 pair of eyes and ears.
And, in reality, the other problem is that some (usually younger) alums are as crazy at the undergraduates.
