The Executive Council is the governing body of the fraternity.

Albert will serve as one of six undergraduate members on the ten-member executive board.

As the District III Archon, Albert will serve as the undergraduate representative for Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and western Ohio. The District Archon serves a term of two years.
