Consultants work with sisters of all backgrounds and from all levels of the organization—collegians, alumnae volunteers, professional staff and organization leaders. These women work independently and remotely, inspiring leadership and impacting the lives of those they work with. Chapter consultants are expected to travel full-time and may be assigned to provide continuous support to specific chapters in one or more locations. Consultants may be asked to fulfill a combination of travel and stationary support.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM PAST CHAPTER CONSULTANTS
I currently work as an Admissions Counselor, so my experience as a chapter consultant has set me up to build strong relationships with prospective high school students to guide them in their college search process. Being a part of chapters' recruitment processes as a chapter consultant has directly translated to the work I do every day now, which includes maintaining relationships with prospective students, leading strong conversations, and tabling skills. Overall, the chapter consultant role is the best job I could have asked for to prepare me for my current role in admissions because I truly use all the skills I learned and developed during my time as a consultant every single day.

The first week of chapter consultant training, the supervisors and returning consultants would always say "After this role, you can do anything and be successful. It prepares you for ANYTHING." After two years with Alpha Chi Omega, I can say that is the wholehearted truth - this position has helped me handle conflict, provided me with strong communication and organization skills, as well as the most important in my opinion: confidence in public speaking and presenting. With this role, I also had the incredible opportunity to be supported by my amazing supervisor who prepared me for any difficult situation, encouraging me and being my champion throughout all of my wins. consultant
