A tip, I think you should motion for the following at the next regular meeting so this bullshit never happens again.

Make your advisor an elected position.

Amend your chapter bylaws or consitution to make the advisor a position which is elected by the brothers and serves a set term just like any other elected position.

Why? Because it makes it easier to remove any future advisors that are a pain in the ass.

It's EASY to rally enough support from brothers to not reelect a person to a position...and it wont piss your national off as much.

On the other hand, throwing someone out of a position forcibly is A LOT harder to rally support for... and pisses your national off A LOT MORE....

In your case you got lucky and the guy resigned...now if he would've fought you tooth and nail the story could have turned out different. But, if you change your consitution to what I suggest, and a situation similar to this one happens again (and dont think that it couldn't) I assure you the advisor would simply not get reelected and the problem would take care of itself and not cripple the fraternity with a giant issue like throwing out an advisor.

Do you see the benifits to what I suggest?

About the campus corporation, It must be something other than what I believed it was... because the "Duquesne University Corporation" at my school is like so high up the students dont normally ever hear from them or know it even exists. It basically consists of priests and alumni who are extremely rich and have campus buildings named after their families. Our advisor is an ex-officio member of that board, and was the former president of it, so we have a lot of power we have yet to tap there...
