Has anyone ever resigned as a chapter advisor?

Also, don't feel badly going to your Province/Regional Director.. whoever is above you in the chain of command. They are there to be your resource person and usually have more experience and very little shocks them anymore I think the biggest part of my job as a Province Director was supporting the Chapter Advisors by being their sounding board, counselor, a person they could vent to, etc. In short, their support system. As an Area Coordinator now, I see my biggest job as doing all that for my Province Directors. The questions and knowledge? Almost every answer is found in a handbook. The support, advice and guidance? That's what you need. Sometimes you just need someone to remind you that the "crisis of the day" isn't really all that important in the big picture. The collegians get so drama driven it's easy to get caught up.

On the other hand, I would rather have a Chapter Advisor resign than to just NOT do her job. If the position is empty, then I know nobody is doing the job. If I simply can't get in touch with her, it can be months before I know how bad the situation really is. You don't do anybody any favors to hold a position when you can't fulfill the responsibilities. I've had women avoid me like the plague when all I really wanted to say to them was "I know this is too much for you right now, let's get this load off of you and onto someone who has time for it". I think they always feel guilty that they haven't been doing anything and think I'm going to ream them out, when, in reality, I really just want them to resign.
