Sorry, I assumed that all NPC groups had some sort of advisory board (ours are called advisors who serve on the Executive Council along with specific officers). They are separate from the House Association and they are separate from an alumnae chapter or club. Alumnae Chapters do tend to affiliate with one chapter and are generally held responsible for providing advisors to the chapter. Alumnae Clubs are more geographic in nature, although they can adopt a chapter and help them build morale, etc. All of our chapters have to have certain Advisor positions filled however, which is sometimes where our Alumnae Initiates come from. Chapters that are in rural areas sometimes have to get AIs in order to fill advisor positions. I know we do this in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We are required to have at least a Chapter Advisor and a Finance Advisor and can have as many advisors as we have officers (although it's rare to find that many). Ideally, each Exec Council Officer has an advisor.
