Every student organization is required to have a full-time faculty or professional staff member serve as its advisor. 顾问 are an integral part of any organization. Fraternity & Sorority organizations are strongly encouraged to have a faculty/staff advisor, but are permitted to utilize authorized non-faculty/staff advisors (generally alumni/alumnae members).
