My mistake. I can't imagine someone not in our sorority advising us because our HQ is very strict about ritual, chapter meetings, etc. We have a sorority on campus here that does not have an advisor because they don't have any alumnae in the area; I asked if someone from another sorority could advise them, and they said that it had to be one of their alumnae. They could really use the help, but that's another story.

My alma mater demands that the primary, main advisor be a faculty member. They don't care what your HQ says - if you don't have a faculty advisor, you're not a recognized organization. If you can't find a member, you make do with what you have. They can't go to ritual or things like that, but if it's the choice of having a little-involved advisor or not being on campus at all, it's a no-brainer.

But of course, none of that helps rebelgirl as she isn't on any university's staff. I'll say to you again: you are in your provisional year with Junior League. Give that your all - as that IS the most respectful thing to do - and quit thinking about a sorority.

Interesting...That would probably change a lot of things at both my current campus and my alma mater!
