For what it is worth, I would not come into the meeting defensive but take the offensive with this issue.
Have a prepared statement to read before the executive board - if you indeed go before them - outlining what happened and what your chapter did to correct it.
Be sure to point out that you met with the advisor and followed the appropriate actions to correct the matter - as it was discussed. You can emphasize that not only did your chapter correct the situation, but it was under the guidance of the advisor.
And if need be and allowed, another option might be to send an open letter to your campus newspaper explaining your chapter's situation.
As others said, there may be sanctions imposed on your chapter. If they are 'fair' then own up to it and move on. If not, then appeal to the council and or any other appropriate group.
Best of luck.
