I am an advisor to my undergraduate chapter and I give them guidance more than anything. I know what it was like as undergrad and using my own personal feelings towards advisors has helped. I don't make their chapter mine. I let them create ideas and I just give them feedback, encouragement, any ideas and so forth. I am close to their ages so I get to know them on a personal level, as well as in the sisterhood. They call me about ANYTHING at ANY time of the day for someone to talk to or advice.
I know what time their classes are and when they usually eat lunch so I can have lunch with them. I do that for 2 reasons, one to get to know them and also to get to know the campus.
I wish you much luck in being an advisor. It is fun and sometimes it is stressful and takes up sooooo much of your time. But, it is worth it when you look back on it.
