When does the voting of amendments, elections, and setting of student fees occur?

• A. It occurs monthly
• B. It takes place at the chapter Congress meeting that is held at the Convention every 2 years
• C. It occurs at regional conferences
• D. It never happens

Answer: (B)

Voting on amendments, elections, and setting student fees happens at the Chapter Congress meeting held during the Fraternity’s Convention every two years. The Chapter Congress is the legislative body made up of delegates from each chapter, and it gathers specifically to handle changes to the Constitution and Bylaws, elect officers, and set national dues or student fees. This biennial, representative gathering ensures that decisions reflect input from all chapters rather than through monthly or regional-only events. Monthly votes or regional conferences don’t carry the same authority for these national governance items, and the idea that it never happens is simply false.
