Advisory Boards (or ABs) are groups of alumni that help keep things running smoothly with a chapter. Almost every chapter is "supposed" to have an AB that act as mentors and connections between the chapter members and HQ. I say "supposed" because at some chapters there is not the alumni base at hand from which to pull advisors, so some chapters will only have one adviser or share an AB with another chapter that's nearby. Ideally, at a large chapter, you would have one adviser for each office plus an AB Chairman (who oversees the AB) and a Chapter Adviser (who oversees the chapter officers as an entire council). You're probably correct in saying since your chapter is smaller and at a commuter campus, you only have one adviser and that suits the needs at your chapter.
