CAB Advisors
The Chapter Advisory Board (CAB) distributes the responsibilities once held by a single chapter advisor across a team of alumni and friends of the chapter — each bringing expertise in areas like recruitment, finance, Phikeia education, and risk management. CAB members support and advise their active chapter counterparts through weekly chapter meetings and one-on-one sessions held in person or via Zoom. Local CAB members also attend Fraternity and Sorority Life meetings on behalf of the university, and all members have the opportunity to join Zoom calls hosted by General Headquarters.
