When the fraternity’s National Convention is not in session, the Grand Council governs the national fraternity on its behalf and serves as its board of directors. The six “worthy grand” offices are elected by the Convention. The Grand Advisor is then appointed by the other six members of the Grand Council.
Each officer is an alumni member, volunteering their fraternal and professional experience to the project of operating Alpha Rho Chi. They are supported by a team of national appointees, who help each officer execute programs for the benefit of the membership.
National Appointees assist the Grand Council in managing the day-to-day operations of the Fraternity.
