Hey Brother,
If your adviser is of SigEp caliber (which it definitely sounds like she is), there's nothing wrong with giving her letters. Plus, it's pretty darn good PR when staff of the university are sporting your letters, especially if she's a very respected member of the university.
What I would do, personally, is give her a lavaliere and a lettered hoodie. The lavaliere is something that she can wear every day without being unprofessional. The hoodie would make her feel like she was even more a part of the Brotherhood because she's getting the apparel the we pride the most. Plus, it's nice to have a hoodie sometimes. :P
With the one E-Board member's opposition, here's the deal: the E-Board is one unit. If 6 out of the 7 of you have a very strong disposition toward giving her letters, cool. What needs to happen is you need to really discuss why he's so against that. Take the time to listen; don't just get defensive. Part of being on E-Board, though, is knowing compromise. So, if you come out of that meeting having decided that she will get letters, he will need to suck it up and go along with the rest of the E-Board. From there, the E-Board, as one unit with one opinion, can talk to the chapter and attempt to get them on your side.
There's my 2 cents.
