Thanks for the speedy responses. @Katmandu Our national does allow non-members to be appointed as the alumni advisor in extraordinary circumstances. Identifying someone willing and able remains a challenge, though. @DeltaBetaBaby Lambda Chi does have a chapter body known as the "Alumni Advisory Board," whose members are appointed by the High Pi, and are there to assist him. Ours has never been very active, and may need to be something we invest in figuring out.
The rule change has hit us at a delicate time. With an almost-$3 million construction project just concluded, and another fundraising effort underway to relieve ourselves of a heavy debt burden, and the undergrad chapter still recovering from displacement and disruption, we're eager to establish some stability. I am hoping our current nominee is duly appointed, but we will need to replace him in a couple of years.
