205.0. "Sorority Alumae Advisors" by FSHQA2::CGIUNTA () Fri Sep 23 1988 15:45

    Last night I volunteered to be the Alumnae Chapter Advisor for my
    sorority at my alma mater.  I wonder if anyone out there has done
    anything similar and can give me a little insight into what I can
    expect/what might be expected of me.  I have a general idea of what
    I'd like to do, and naturally it depends on what the chapter's
    expectations are, but if anyone has any experience in this area,
    it would be helpful.
    
    Thanks,
    Cathy

    Cathy,
         I think the most important thing to remember is that these
    girls need someone to give them direction/keep them on track.  It
    is your job to make sure that the organization is run in a fair
    and enjoyable manner.  Don't let just a few girls RUN the chapter
    -- help them to work together, and to share with each other so that
    they can develop into happy and successful adult women, who have
    only good memories of college and their sorority once they graduate.
    
    Be their friend, support them, but also keep them in line -- help
    them remember what the sorority's goals and objectives are, while
    they are having fun along the way.
    
    I have some very wonderful memories of my sorority days -- I think
    that you will be very happy with your decision to be an advisor.
    
    GOOD LUCK !!!!! :-) :-)
    
    Dawn.
