• Meet with new members during their new member education program.

• Advise chapter officers on their duties and responsibilities.
• Assist the chapter in setting realistic, attainable goals and action plans.
• Assist the chapter in developing a system through which they can evaluate their progress.
• Review the organization’s budget, and assist in the task of monitoring the budget throughout the year.
• Share your organizational, financial, facility, or other resource management expertise with the chapter.
• Stay informed of what is happening in the organization, both positive and negative.
• Challenge the organization and its members to grow and develop.
• Offer advice to graduating seniors on career opportunities.
• Encourage chapter members to participate in campus events and organizations.
• Maintain a strong relationship with the Greek Advisor and attend advisor meetings and training programs.
