I serve on two boards for different Lambda Chi Alpha chapters: my alma mater, Illinois State (serving as an at-large member, a.k.a. I don't hold an office) and Northwestern (Secretary-Publisher, in charge of minutes-keeping, alumni communications, etc.). Both groups have their own set-up, and both work.
For example, Illinois State has a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Housing Corp. chair & Treasurer. The other five members serve as at-large members. We meet 4x/year (twice each in Chicago & Normal--we meet @ school during Homecoming & Founders Day activities).
Northwestern has more officers (President, VP/Alumni Affairs, VP/Housing Affairs, Treasurer, Secretary-Publisher & "High Tech", the web guru) & meets monthly. There are generally more alums attending @ NU than @ the ISU meetings, partially due to geographical proximity.
In both instances, we have undergraduate representation: the president, treasurer, house manager and the alumni affairs coordinator. It's important to have these guys invested as full, voting members of the board--they're our lifeline to what's happening in the chapter house.
If you have any questions, PM me...
Interfraternally,
Bill F.
