National Convention

Synonyms: Convention

The National Convention is the supreme authority of the fraternity and is held in even-numbered years during the last week of the year (between Christmas Day and New Year's Day). Recognized chapters in good standing with the national fraternity may send two voting delegates (active or chapter advisor) to the legislative session to vote on fraternity business. The convention also provides an opportunity for members to participate in leadership development seminars, workshops, service projects, fellowship activities, and assist on the legislative floor.   (from the Region III Advisor's Guide)
