2012-2013 Advising Philosophy The role of advisors is to identify and meet students, organizations and councils in their current context and lead them through a process to identify and arrive at a new and better place. The advisors will treat everyone fairly; remembering that treating everyone equal does not mean fair, and treating everyone fair does not mean equal.Advisors will use the concept of equal effort with chapters the amount of effort chapters put into developing themselves is the amount of time the advisors will put in to working with them. Advisors will participate in leadership coaching, educating and involving chapter advisors and inter/national volunteers in efforts on the campus-level and be a partner to our inter/national organizations. Advisors will take a team approach to ensure each chapter is receiving the education and assistance it needs. The advisors will use the Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) in Higher Education as a guide to working with chapters and the fraternity and sorority community. CAS will specifically guide the work of the Fraternity and Sorority Life Office with chapters during the 2012-2013 academic year.
