It can a disadvantage. It will really depend on how you present yourself. You would need to show that you can separate yourself from the chapter. Unless there have been problems with previous FSL directors showing favoritism (and I mean real favoritism, not the common calls of "you play favorites" that we all tend to get that are not real), it shouldn't be too much of an issue. It's important during an interview to not keep referencing your chapter, but keeping it general. Saying "in my experience, this has been the case..." instead of "when i was advising zeta, this is what I did...." Makes a big difference.
