Which statement best describes the relationship of chapters to the Fraternity on a national level?

• A. They are the primary unit with no other organizational units.
• B. They are one of several organizational units, along with Provinces and Districts.
• C. They operate independently from any national structure.
• D. They are subordinate to the national board.

Answer: (B)

Chapters fit into a wider national framework rather than standing alone. The Fraternity is organized into intermediate levels—Provinces and Districts—that oversee groups of chapters, with the national board guiding the entire organization. This layered structure means chapters are not the sole unit, nor do they operate completely independently; they report through provinces and districts to the national leadership. So, describing chapters as one of several organizational units, along with Provinces and Districts, best reflects their role at the national level.
