Kappa's Executive Director is an Alpha Phi.
While it would be ideal to have internal members in HQ roles, I'd rather have someone qualified- and just being a member does not qualify you for a job. Just like being Macy's best customer doesn't mean you have any customer service skills, or complaining about Facebook's latest feed sorting methods or privacy updates doesn't make you a software developer.
I think it's a really easy gut reaction to say "but she isn't one of ours!" but at the end of the day, it is a paid job just like any other. I think that all else equal, being a member makes you more qualified than a non-member and being Greek in general makes you more qualified than not being Greek. Is it mandatory? No... but it's certainly ideal if you can find the right person who also has the rest of the required experience, skills, & culture fit.
I would say the same goes for Greek advisers in colleges. My school had two fantastic non-Greek advisers when I was there, and both self-admittedly said that it would've helped them in certain situations had they been Greek themselves. However, the rest of their work experience and personalities made up for it.
