Business of Convention

The purpose of Convention is to conduct the business of the Fraternity, which includes:
• Reviewing and voting on our governing documents.
• Installing the newly elected members of Fraternity Council and District Directors.
• Planning the future of the organization.

While voting members have the privilege of making motions, debating, and voting, Convention is open to all members of the Fraternity.

The following are nonvoting members of the General Convention: members of Fraternity standing and special committees; Content Specialists; representatives from chapters, Advisory Boards and House Boards; and visitors.

DELEGATE RESPONSIBILITIES

A delegate is a member in good standing who acts as a voting representative for their association or chapter. To be in good standing, Kappa Kappa Gamma Headquarters must receive all necessary reports and fees by June 1.

Delegates should review the proposed revisions to the Fraternity Bylaws and Standing Rules prior to arriving at Convention. Additionally, they should seek input from the Kappas they are representing. Each delegate should print and bring a copy of the proposed revisions to the Fraternity Bylaws and Standing Rules to Convention for reference during the Fraternity Bylaws sessions. Delegates are required to attend all business meetings, sessions, planned meal functions, and any meetings requested by Fraternity officers, District Directors, or Content Directors.

Each delegate is encouraged to share their Convention experiences with their chapter or association when they return home.

Delegate Details

Proposed Bylaws and Standing Rules Amendments

The 2024 General Convention is right around the corner. The proposed amendments to the Fraternity Bylaws and Standing Rules will be considered at Convention. The proposed amendments are now available.

There will be a Parliamentary Procedure Process session conducted by the Fraternity Parliamentarian on Friday, June 28, to review the parliamentary process used on the Convention Hall floor. This highly recommended session is an opportunity for delegates to learn more and ask questions about the process.
