What will I do as an advisor?

Be involved in the life of a student Greek leader. Take a phone call at midnight. Visit the Mountain and attend a chapter meeting or a community service event or a party (or all three). Come to Shake Day and help keep the day meaningful. Listen. College students have a great deal to say.

Specifically, most chapter advisors serve in a mutually beneficial, multi-faceted role that includes advising on the following topics:

• fiscal responsibility
• risk management
• recruitment
• leadership training and development
• communication with national offices (if applicable) and University administration
• ritual
• dispelling tension within the organization

Chapter advisors help maintain stability within a chapter, look for problem areas and commit  to maintaining high standards. In return, advisors often develop lifelong relationships with undergraduates, rekindle old friendships and reconnect with their alma mater.

Fraternities and sororities with genuinely interested alumni are strong organizations.
