The Grand Chapter Board (GCB) is the national governing entity that oversees all administrative aspects of the sorority, and is the foremost regulating authority of the organization. The GCB is comprised of alumnae who serve as executive members.

The GCB is also responsible for coordinating and implementing all national events, including:

Sisterhood Conference: A daylong conference consisting of workshops geared towards enhancing our member’s skills in all aspects of the sorority, including personal, academic and professional development.

Annual Convention: A weekend long event hosted by the Grand Chapter Board for our membership, fellow Greeks, family and friends. Events include but are not limited to:

Sisterhood Bonding
The weekend kicks off with a sister’s only event dedicated to reinforcing the bond established as undergraduates. This social gathering is usually hosted by an undergraduate chapter and/or undergraduate sisters, the evening prior to Convention. In the past, this event consisted of fun activities, the exchange of sacred historical stories and traditions including strolling and stepping, tons of picture taking, laughs and memorable moments, all shared over food and music.

Convention Day
Convention consists of a full day of workshops, catering to the needs of our membership and the community that are reflective of the organization’s goals and personal ideals of our membership. The goal of Convention is to provide guidance and assistance on everyday life issues including managing finances, home buying, diversity in the workforce, to name a few.

Awards Banquet
Our Convention culminates with our annual Awards Banquet. The Banquet is a time of celebration of the birth of our sisterhood, and an opportunity to reflect and rejoice, on the memberships accomplishments throughout the past year. The Grand Chapter Board presents awards at this event to chapters, undergraduates and alumnae, who have gone beyond the call of duty, dedicating themselves to the organization, their community and in their personal pursuit for academic excellence. This is truly the highlight of the weekend.

Summer Picnic: Our annual Summer Picnic brings together sisters, friends and family for a day of pure fun and relaxation. Usually held in a public park, this event includes fun activities for all to enjoy.

Sisterhood Retreat: Sisters come together for a weekend retreat at a secluded location to foster the social aspects of our sorority including empowerment, communication, team and trust building exercises.
