Deactivation - please help! :(

Not all groups "elect" advisers. I would venture that the majority are "appointed" by the powers-that-be. If you have an alumnae group in your area, I'd see about visting with them at one of their meetings - or having an event for them at your campus. You can show them what great ladies you are and "rush" them to be advisers!

I can also tell you that no matter what other groups on your campus do, if I were involved with your chapter, you would not be having a bake cale or midnight pancake event as you described. I had to shut one down when I was Director of Housing due to house risk management issues....and the chapter typically made a decent amount of money - it was a taco event. But that mattered not. It was open to the public and the "public" was not the "public" we wanted in the house. IS there a late night food place - IHOP or some local cafe - that you could partner with and have it there and the chapter's philanthropy get a portion of the proceeds? Chick-Fil-A does that here. Am sure there are others as well.
