NOT a duty of the Chapter Congress?

• A. Maintains local chapter facilities
• B. Consider and vote on amendments to the constitution and statutory code
• C. Elects the president and the executive vice president, and enacts legislation
• D. Sets the fees for student members and elects the board of directors

Answer: (A)

Chapter Congress handles national governance and policy, not day-to-day local operations. Maintaining local chapter facilities is a responsibility of the individual chapters themselves, not of the national legislative body. In contrast, the national Chapter Congress carries out actions that shape the fraternity’s overall structure: it considers and votes on amendments to the constitution and statutory code, it elects the national president and executive vice president and enacts legislation, and it sets the fees for student members and elects the board of directors. So, the duty that doesn’t fit the national Chapter Congress role is keeping up local facilities.
