i would say that the decsion to become an advisor is a personal one, a few
things you might think about...
1) first off an advisor should be able to give advice
2) an advisor should have the time to be readily available to the chapter
3) an advisor is not justa brother who has a different satus, by definiton they
area brred apart from active brothers of the chapter
4) like all commitments, if you're not sure you can fulfill all the required
duties.. mayne you shouldn't do it
I would also like to state that it is the job of the chapter to accept the
advisor. The chapter decides who will best serve them as an advisor, in doing
so the chapter might consider:
1) will this person be able to:give advice? experienced enough? have a
friendly manner in all dealing with chapter? old enough/experienced enough
to gain and maintain respect?
2) will the advisor have the commitment our chapter requires?
3) do they really know what an advisor should do? (defined by nationals&chapter
4) is this a serious inquiry or is this justa passing notion that the potential
advisor might give up just as easily as acquired
That's my $0.02
