Programming held for the benefit of our nationwide Brotherhood
The Fraternity has sponsored a national banquet dating back to December of 1978. The banquet is a formal event, which features keynote speakers, dancing and entertainment in an elegant ballroom setting. At the banquets, the National Board recognizes individuals, chapters and sectors for their contributions and accomplishments. Once held each year, the National Anniversary Banquet is now held every five years.
The next banquet will be held in December 2025 in recognition of our 50th anniversary.
The National Convention is hosted every two years convening the voting representatives from all of the Fraternity’s regions and the National Executive Board. Issues concerning the Fraternity at a national level are addressed, constitutional amendments, if any, are discussed and voted upon, and elections for the various national offices are held at these gatherings. Brothers are also given a number of professional and brotherhood development workshops to attend.
