Or create new college experiences via AI...which is our #1 reason NOT to AI.

I am just trying to picture what would have happened if our adviser tried to attend our formal. There would probably have been only two sisters there, that's what. It's just not an event for older people. We had the designated sober sisters, we had a safe way home, we had the risk manager sober and present, and our adviser let us have our fun.

That's pretty much how ours is. Although we have to have a cop this year and bracelets for girls over 21.

And that's another case of what works for you might not work for others.

Not having an advisor or chaperone at a formal definitely would NOT have flown for my collegiate chapter.

Most of our chapters don't have an advisor present but mine may move to that next year. But our only function would be to help with risk team! Our formals are pretty large so we think that would be helpful to risk team (we had 250+ at our last one).

If not the advisor, definitely a chaperone. I attended a collegiate chapter formal as the advisor's "date" once...and it was very awkward for me. I imagine it was the same way with the girls as well.

We try to have an adviser at the larger events to assist in monitoring risk management issues however, I suggest that my advisory council members play a low key role from the corner as an observer and not attend with date, corsage, etc. Advisers should be there to do their job and not unnecessarily socialize as was the case with the OP AI candidate.

I'm an advisor, and I go to formals. It's sort of expected of me (as someone else said, risk management). Plus I'm another car in case of emergencies.
