Which statement best describes the Grand Chapter's role?

• A. It coordinates district-level programs only.
• B. It is a local social club.
• C. It serves as the national governing body that sets policy.
• D. It handles alumni events only.

Answer: (C)

The Grand Chapter serves as the national governing body that sets policy and oversees the entire fraternity. It has the authority to establish national standards, approve and coordinate national programs, charter new chapters, and handle disciplinary matters that affect all chapters. This is why the statement describing it as the national governing body that sets policy is the best description. District-level programs are managed within their regions under guidance from the national body, and calling it a local social club or limiting it to alumni events doesn’t reflect its broad governance and policy-setting role.
