In an effort to enhance the assistance provided to Chi Phi's Chapters and Colonies while also building the Fraternity's volunteer corps, Chi Phi is currently recruiting Chapter Advisors for nearly every Chapter and/or Colony of the Fraternity.

·         Be an effective and efficient communicator.

·         All members of the Advisory Board should attend all initiation ceremonies, if an initiated member of Chi Phi, ensuring adherence to the Personal Safety Policy and maintaining the decorum our ceremonies dictate.

·         At least one member of the Advisory Board should review the chapter’s financial data with the treasurer on a monthly to quarterly basis.

·         At least one member of the Advisory Board should meet with the College / University Greek Advisor at least once a semester to maintain a positive relationship with university officials and discuss the chapter’s status.

·         At least one member of the Advisory Board should attend all Brotherhood (Judicial) Board meetings and Courts of the Chapter The Advisory Board should assist with the officer transition and training for all chapter officers.

·         Review, enforce, and uphold the Personal Safety Policy.

Responsibilities to Alumni Entities:

·         All members of the Advisory Board are responsible to report relevant matters immediately to the leadership of the Alumni Association and/or House Corporation as applicable.

·         All members of the Advisory Board must maintain constant and regular communication between each other and all alumni groups and serve as the Chapter’s primary point of contact for alumni matters.

General Responsibilities:
