In what city and what general convention was the last founder officially designated?

• A. Chicago, Illinois
• B. 37th General Convention, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• C. 38th General Convention, Cleveland, Ohio
• D. 40th General Convention, New York, New York

Answer: (C)

The question tests how the fraternity formally acknowledges its founders at its big governance meetings. Founders are officially designated through actions taken at General Conventions, which are the major gatherings where chapters’ delegates conduct business and make ceremonial recognitions. The last founder to be officially designated was recognized at the 38th General Convention, held in Cleveland, Ohio. That convention is the historical record for the final formal designation, which is why Cleveland at the 38th General Convention is the correct pairing.
