The National Fraternity is the collective personality of all members, chapters, alumni corporations and alumni associations coupled with our history. The Board of Directors, comprised of officials elected at even year National Conventions, hires the Executive Director who then employs a National Office staff to provide the services that the National Fraternity offers and ensure compliance with her policies.
