What is the organizational structure from local to national in Alpha Phi Alpha?

• A. Local chapters report directly to the Grand Chapter at the national level
• B. Local chapters operate independently
• C. Local chapters report to a regional/provincial structure and ultimately to the Grand Chapter at the national level
• D. Local chapters report to a university advisory board

Answer: (C)

Alpha Phi Alpha uses a tiered governance system that connects local chapters to the national leadership. Local chapters report to a regional (provincial) structure, which in turn reports to the Grand Chapter at the national level. This arrangement keeps policies, programs, and standards consistent across the fraternity while giving local chapters the support of regional officers and the national organization. The national Grand Chapter provides overarching governance and direction, while Regions handle regional activities and chapter support. Local chapters may work with university advisors, but their formal reporting line flows through the regional level to the Grand Chapter.
