7. WHAT IS A DELEGATE?
The ‘Delegate’ is the member responsible for submitting votes on behalf of his/her Chapter during Formal Business Sessions of the Grand Council
He or she is a representative for the Chapter, acting as the legislative voice on the Grand Council
Each Collegiate Chapter has (1) Collegiate Delegate and (1) Alumni Delegate

8. HOW TO BECOME A DELEGATE?
In the Spring, Chapters should discuss which Collegiate Brother will serve as their Delegate (and alternate Delegate)
Chapter should also reach out to Alumni Brothers to determine availability and willingness to travel to Grand Council to serve as your Alumni Delegate (and alternate Alumni Delegate)
Your Chapter may have language written into its Constitution and Bylaws mandating officers to serve as Chapter representatives at GC
If this is not the case, and you are interested in becoming a Delegate, let your Executive Committee know

As Delegate for your Chapter, you should be familiar with the policies and amendments to be voted on
