Remind them what's done is done, and that you're an adviser, not a fairy godmother. If they hate the new officer they can change it. It doesn't hurt to remind them that you're older and wiser and can gently advise them that people can be surprising. These might be some of their best officers yet.
I've already heard grumblings for various reasons from actives at my old chapter, and they haven't even held elections yet this year (and these same grumbling have come up every year since my first year...something I always point out...you can't make everyone happy). I say, this is a good time to learn that life isn't always fair, and the "best" people don't always get elected. But just because Suzy wasn't YOUR choice for president doesn't mean she shouldn't have been elected. She got the office, now she gets the chance to try her hand at it. In the meantime, she'll need the cooperation of the chapter to do her job, and her succeeding is in everyone's best interest, not just hers.
