Who makes up the chapter congress?

• A. All active chapters' presidents
• B. Delegates elected by the board of directors
• C. One delegate from each student and alumni chapter in good standing
• D. Only alumni chapter representatives

Answer: (C)

The idea behind the Chapter Congress is representation: every active student or alumni chapter that is in good standing sends one delegate to the congress. This single delegate from each chapter ensures that each chapter has an equal voice in decisions, regardless of the chapter’s size, and it includes both student and alumni chapters so that alumni perspectives are represented too. The good-standing requirement keeps participation limited to chapters meeting their obligations, such as dues, reporting, and adherence to policies. If the structure were just the presidents, or delegates chosen by the board, or limited to alumni representatives, it would tilt influence away from the broader chapters or exclude student chapters, respectively. The one-delegate-per-chapter rule keeps the process collaborative and balanced.
