This all really depends on how your school is structured and how salaries are paid. A budget cut doesn't mean that they will close all Greek chapters (you should be self supporting organizations via dues anyway). However, it could mean that staff lose jobs...that could include your Greek Life adviser. But it also may not. It may mean that someone else in the Student Affairs/Student Life office loses their job and the Greek Adviser has to take on additional duties. It may mean that some student worker positions will be cut. It may mean that Student Life/Greek Life budgets are cut, which means your Greek Adviser can't pay for major speakers or programs or photocopies or other resources like they used to.
Our University is facing cuts as well, and when they first realized that we needed to make cuts, they asked each department to review their budget and report back areas that could be cut (based on the percentage of cut they gave us). Then a committee met and decided which cuts would be made. At this point we have lost 24 job positions (University wide, not counting faculty positions) but 12 of those were already vacant positions so they just won't be filled. Our Student Life office did not lose any positions (we did decrease the hours we have student workers), but we did get some things cut from our budget that we provided to students. So right now we just have to be careful of our purchases and operating costs.
Keep reading the newspaper and other information that the University puts out. They will start reporting areas that will be cut once they decide on them.
