Um, no. This is a ridiculous comparison because you don't want collegiates acting like advisors (although responsibility is a good characteristic). Of course advisors are valuable to chapters; lots of chapters struggle in one way or another with poor or no advisory support. However, a 40 year old advisor and a 40 year old collegiate member are completely different. Advisors are ALUMNAE who advise the chapter and the officers. They do not participate in the day to day activities of the chapter (although there are several events throughout each semester that alumnae are welcome and encouraged to attend).
Really consider the climate of your campus. What is the age range of the students? What is the age range of the Greeks? At a campus where 99.9% of the Greeks are 18-22, the LAST thing a chapter would seek is a 40 year old new member to advise them like their mother!
