THE ROLE OF THE CHAPTER ADVISOR*

A chapter advisor can be an excellent form of support. Without reciprocal support from those being advised, however, nothing will be accomplished. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the significance of an advisor to the members of a chapter. Together, the advisor and the chapter members must strive to gain a better understanding of the relationship that exists between the chapter and the institution. It is also important to realize that having a committed chapter advisor can make a significant positive impact in all areas of chapter operation

Role of the Chapter Advisor

1. To assist the Faculty Advisor in the promotion of scholarship generally among the members of the chapter and promoting an atmosphere conducive for study conditions within the chapter house.
2. To assist the chapter officers, particularly the president and treasurer.
3. To advise the chapter in the understanding of electing and training competent chapter officers.
4. To work with the chapter officers in preparing the yearly Membership, Development Plan, Chapter Management Plan, Chapter Annual Report, and budgets and goals.
5. To speak with actives who are delinquent in their financial obligations to the chapter.

THE ROLE OF THE FACULTY/STAFF ADVISOR*

A faculty/staff advisor can be an excellent form of support. Without reciprocal support from those being advised, however, nothing will be accomplished. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the significance of an advisor to the members of a chapter. Together, the advisor and the chapter members must strive to gain a better understanding of the relationship that exists between the chapter and the institution. It is also important to realize that having a committed faculty/staff advisor can make a significant positive impact in all areas of chapter operation, not scholarship alone.

The following points are suggested as a basis for obtaining and developing an effective faculty/staff advisor:

Possible Areas of Consideration for Advisory Assistance

* academic improvement
* study skills development
* new membership education
* leadership development programs*
* officer training*
* alumni development programs*
* relationships with other faculty and administration

* The advisor can serve as a source, assisting in locating relevant programs for chapter officers and members.

Role of the Faculty/Staff Advisor

1. The advisor's role is not static but dynamic. The advisor must continually adapt his/her activities to fit the ever-changing situations in the chapter.
2. A close working relationship between the chapter and the advisor is critical. Such a relationship will provide the opportunity for the advisor to serve as a teacher, counselor, mentor and friend.
3. The advisor should strive to continually help the chapter become as self-sufficient as possible.
4. The advisor should be interested in the individual and in the collective welfare of the chapter members, not just in the chapter's academic standing.
5. The advisor should recognize and accept the fact that there may be no direct results of his/her labors.
6. The advisor should work through the chapter officers and members in order to give them the opportunity to gain experience and self-confidence.

Who is most likely to be an effective faculty/staff advisor?

* someone who the chapter members and the college community respect and admire
* someone who can potentially develop positive, supportive relationships with chapter members

* someone who is willing to take the responsibility of maintaining some continual contact with chapter members

* someone who believes in the chapter's mission goals, and who is committed to helping chapter members accomplish those goals

* someone who receives respect, support, and recognition from the administration and from colleagues for his/her efforts

How to recruit a Faculty /Staff Advisor

* Ask each member to nominate his/her choice for a faculty/staff advisor and present list at chapter meeting for selection.

* Ask chapter members to identify individuals they feel may have the characteristics stated above.

* Invite these faculty or staff members to lunch, dinner, or a program to introduce them to the chapter.

* Provide nominees with a copy of the chapter's mission goals statement and a list of things the chapter is currently doing in regards to scholarship. In addition, the chapter should draft a description of the desired direction of the chapter, and the role that the faculty/staff advisor would play in accomplishing those goals.

* Use alumni as a resource.

Possible ways to honor a Faculty /Staff Advisor

1. Nominate him/her for a National chapter award.
2. Nominate him/her for a campus award.
3. Nominate him/her for a community service award.
4. Invite advisor to all scholarship banquets (If you do not currently have a scholarship banquet, implement one).
