SECTION C. DELEGATE INFORMATION
Qualifications & Duties
Important reminders concerning the qualifications and duties of National Delegate to the 2014
National Chapter Meeting of Phi Chi Theta:
1.
Thoroughly review the National Bylaws and Standing Rules.
Please bring your own copy of the National Bylaws and Standing Rules with you. Make
sure that they are the ones dated August 2012.
2.
According to Article VI, Section 3 B(1 & 2): "The President for the fiscal year in which
the Biennial Meeting is held shall represent the chapter as National Delegate at the Biennial
Meeting. If the President is unable to attend, officers for the same fiscal year -- Vice
President, Secretary or Treasurer -- shall serve, in rank order, in the National Delegate
Capacity.
If no officer is able to serve as National Delegate, a member of the chapter may be selected
to fill the position. However, this can only be done upon approval of the National President
and based on the recommendation of the chapter's Regional Director."
3.
According to Article VI, Section 3 B(3): "In Collegiate Chapters, it must be the intention
of the National Delegate to return to school for the Fall school term immediately following
the Biennial Meeting." Conformance with this rule MUST be assured.
Each National Delegate is required to make a full report -- both oral and written (one copy
to the Regional Director) -- of the meeting to their respective chapter as soon as possible
after returning from the meeting and to give assistance and support to the chapter during
the school year.
4.
National Delegates MUST be able to attend all events and other functions of the Biennial
Meeting without exception. In addition, the DELEGATE must attend any meetings of the
Biennial Meeting committees to which he/she may be appointed. Each DELEGATE
should expect to fully participate in all events during the convention.
5.
Your ticket for admission to ALL functions is your name badge. This MUST be worn at
all times during the convention and will be provided along with your registration packet at
the Welcome Reception on Wednesday, August 6, 2014.
12
Requirements of National Delegates
o Attend ALL scheduled convention activities promptly and in their entirety.
o Be prepared to serve on national committee
o Represent their chapter at the Biennial Meeting
o Be members in good standing that will return to school and their school's chapter in the
Fall of 2014.
o Be conversant with the National By-laws and Standing Rules of Phi Chi Theta, Chapter
By-laws, Chapter operations and be familiar with Parliamentary Procedures.
o Be familiar with projects and professional activities of their chapters and be able to discuss
them if called upon to do so.
o Know how their chapter would vote on an issue, but keep an open mind to new information,
which may alter their chapter's standpoint on an issue
o Be aware of possible issues to be discussed at the convention. (I.e. proposed bylaw
amendments)
o Be able to present their chapter's viewpoint at any meeting or discussion.
o Be prepared to give an oral report to their chapter upon returning to school. In addition,
they MUST prepare a written report, which will become a part of the chapter's minutes. A
copy will also be sent to the chapter's Regional Director and to the Executive Director.
o Display conduct in a manner that reflects well on their school, chapter and region.
Expectations of the National Delegate
o To enlarge their perspective of the purpose and operation of Phi Chi Theta as a National
organization.
o To meet Phi Chi Theta members from around the nation and exchange ideas.
o To be involved in meeting activities for most of the day. Although free time is scheduled,
the National Delegate will be asked to serve on a convention committee, or the published
schedule may be subject to last-minute revisions if special circumstances should arise.
o To see the Business Meetings conducted in perhaps a more formal manner than local
chapter meetings. The larger size of the group necessitates these procedures. Every effort
is made to run the Biennial Meeting in an efficient and organized manner.
o To ratify actions of the Executive Council. The Executive Council will present the actions
that have been taken during the past two years. These are PAST events which only require
approval of the membership.
o The delegates will be presented with an operating budget for the national chapter for the
2014-2016 fiscal Biennium.
o To elect new national officers that will serve for the 2014-2016 Biennium.

D. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON PHI CHI THETA
PHI CHI THETA CREED
I do solemnly promise to be true and loyal to the ideals of Phi Chi Theta; to strive at all times to uphold its
standards; and to work always for its best interests.
HISTORY OF PHI CHI THETA
Phi Chi Theta was formed in Chicago, Illinois, on June 16, 1924, by the union of two competing business
fraternities, Phi Theta Kappa and Phi Kappa Epsilon, both of which were formed in 1918.
Phi Chi Theta was incorporated in the State of New York on January 4, 1926. The certificate of
incorporation sets forth its purpose as being:
"To promote the cause of higher business education and training for women, to foster high ideals
for women in business careers, to encourage fraternity and cooperation among people preparing for
such careers, and to stimulate the spirit of sacrifice and unselfish devotion to the attainment of such
ends."
Since going co-ed, the word "women" has been replaced by the word "individual" to include both men and
women.

The National Chapter is the general governing body of Phi Chi Theta and consists of the duly elected
National Officers and National delegates. The National Officers are deemed the Executive Council and
have the authority to administer the affairs of the Fraternity during the interim between Biennial Meetings.
14
DID YOU KNOW THAT ... ?
1.
The National Chapter of Phi Chi Theta is composed of the National Officers (often referred
to as the Executive Council) and all the National Delegates.
2.
The Alumni chapters are composed of former collegiate members who have graduated and
entered the business community. One of their functions is to mentor the collegiate chapters.
3.
The National Officers are business people who serve Phi Chi Theta on their own time and
that only the Executive Director is actually employed by the Fraternity on a full time basis.
a) Fraternity annually and to accord them official recognition.
b) Stimulate the interest of chapters in the full scope of activities within the realm of Phi
Chi Theta.
c) Provide definite incentives for the improvement of chapter functions and insure through
the USE OF DEADLINES that the National Chapter can operate efficiently.
d) Provide specific objectives for the chapters to accomplish.
e) Create a spirit of friendly competition among chapters.
5.
Ship's Logs (scrapbooks) and special displays are an interesting and informative part of
every National Meeting. When preparing to bring your chapter's items, please keep the
following in mind:
a) Contents should cover the past biennium (August of 2012 through July of 2014).
b) Photographs of initiation ceremonies and pledging ceremonies will disqualify your
entry in the National Awards Program. Pictures are not allowed during these
ceremonies. Photographs taken during the social time before and after the ceremonies,
however, are a valuable asset to your log.
c) Chapter Award Points are awarded on the basis of meaningfulness of content,
continuity and arrangement, artistic presentation, appearance and effort.
d) Any photos displaying acts that are in direct violation of our National Policies will
disqualify the entry immediately.
e) Entries may be photos or electronic media.
15
REQUIREMENTS FOR A NATIONAL OFFICE
The NATIONAL PRESIDENT is the Chief Executive Officer and epitomizes the high ideals and
principles of Phi Chi Theta. This person represents the Fraternity on many important national
occasions and at meetings of fraternity leaders and other professional organizations. This
individual should have the wide experience and knowledge necessary to carry out all the functions
of the office.
The three VICE PRESIDENTS are in the direct line for succession to the office of President
should the President be unable to fulfill the duties of the office. Each of the Vice Presidents has
responsible duties which require wide experience and knowledge of the Fraternity's policies and
procedures.
REGIONAL DIRECTORS are also National Officers and must be knowledgeable and competent
to represent Phi Chi Theta at our colleges and universities. The Regional Director serves a very
important function since this person must be the Fraternity's liaison with students, faculties,
university administrators, and alumni. The Regional Director is required to travel to each chapter
and keep in close touch with each chapter in the Region, and lend assistance, support and guidance.
These are all working offices and election to any one of them carries with it the duties and
responsibilities of the office. Each officer must be willing to give much time and energy to the
office. Please consider only those individuals who are willing and able to devote the necessary
time each office requires.
