I certainly don't want to be that kind of advisor, but it is hard to motivate the older members to put themself out there socially and recruit. I remember feeling that way, myself, my senior year. It is hard to go out and meet PNMs, but so necessary in a chapter that could shut down if the chapter doesn't step up recruitment this year.

I am sure since you are a National, your IHQ requires the Chapter to have an Advisor. What better way than haveing an Alumni. Of course in the vein that you speak, the Chapter has been burned by micromanagement.
If this helps, LXA is one that requires one. He also is a member of the Executive Committee but not a full voting member. The Chapter runs the Chapter. He is there to be a judge in case something comes up that could envolve any hazing or R M situations and then he becomes "THE JUDGE" and says ah no.
He is also free to make any suggestions or give constructive ideas.
It is a fine line to be sure but can be handled.
The best way is working with, not ordering as in this is how we did it when I was here.
It sounds like they have a serious problem of esteem.
PM me if you desire.
