			Not only do our advisors not necessarily have to be initiated members, they don't even have to be female.  It's rare but we have had men as chapter advisors - and they have been quite successful... a few years ago, our Chapter Advisor of the Year Award went to a fraternity man that was one of our chapter's advisor.  Female or male, if they are not initiated, there are certain activities they cannot attend - understandably. 
 
It's much more important that chapters have a good advisor.  If the best person for the job happens to not be a member, we don't want the chapter to miss out on the value that person can bring. 
 
It is not the norm, but non-member advisors are allowable for us.
