We ask that advisers be at least 2 years out of school. Also, we place younger advisers in smaller positions or as assistant advisers. You definitely need someone older and more mature (and unconnected) to handle standards, membership, finance (i.e. the BIGGIES).

I also think it strengthens an advisory board to have advisers of all ages represented. It gives the collegiates a good view of life post-college and how they can be involved with the sorority after graduation.

I'd hate to see you turn away a volunteer, who wants to help. (We never seem to have enough volunteers at my school!) Make sure she is on the invite list for recruitment, Founder's Day, initiation, chaperoning, etc. Once she has a few years in smaller roles, she may be ready for a larger one and by that time her little sister will have graduated.

I hope this works out for you!
