Who sets the cadence for a chapter's annual report submissions?

• A. Grand Chapter
• B. Local Alumni Association
• C. University administration
• D. Regional council

Answer: (A)

When a national fraternity coordinates chapters across many campuses, the timeline for submitting annual reports is set by the national governing body. The Grand Chapter is that national body, so it defines the annual reporting schedule to standardize data, support planning, and keep all chapters aligned with national programs and conventions. Chapters submit their reports to the Grand Chapter, making this cadence a national requirement rather than a campus-specific one. The Local Alumni Association operates at the local level with alumni activities, not national deadlines. University administration governs the campus environment but does not establish the fraternity’s national reporting calendar. Regional councils manage regional affairs and typically implement the Grand Chapter’s deadlines rather than setting their own. So the cadence for chapter annual reports is determined by the Grand Chapter.
