AI going back to school

What do you mean by "I'd love to be involved with this chapter in very active ways since I've never had the collegiate membership experience."?

Do you mean like go to mixers and stuff like that?

If you are considering an advisory role, I would check to see what the chapters and/or Nationals' policies are on that. Some groups prefer that women be graudated (or away from their chapter) for a few years.

And on that same note, would you qualify as an advisor just having joined the sorority?

Once you are alum, you are alum (which is why they call it "alumnae initiation"). They can't reverse your status to "collegiate" or whatever the term is for that group. And I may be crossing some lines I shouldn't, but sometimes alums are preferred to stay away from mixers/etc for risk management/ insurance reasons if they are not advisors.

I'm sure it depends on the sorority. I'm pretty sure one of our AI's went through initiation and immediately became an advisor (because the chapter closest to her really needed one). Now, I'm pretty sure she was given the roll as like social, standards, financial not chapter.

Probably also depends on whether the AI wants to assume such a huge responsibility so soon after their initiation.
