Congress
We call our annual legislative event (what other organizations often call "Convention" or "Conclave") the Chi Phi Congress. It is the supreme governing body of Chi Phi Fraternity. It is composed of two voting delegates from each active chapter, one voting delegate from each alumni association, and one non-voting delegate from each alumni club. Congress meets annually, conducts its own business, and elects its own officers. It is our supreme authority.

Judicial Courts
The judicial power of the fraternity is vested in the three courts

• The "Court of the Chapter" has original jurisdiction over its members and alumni.
• The "Court of the Grand Council" has jurisdiction over all members, chapters, colonies and both types of alumni organizations. It can also hear appeals from determinations of the Court of the Chapter with power to affirm or modify.
• The "Court of the Congress" serves as an appellate court from the Court of Chapter and Council. It can assume original jurisdiction over members, chapters, and alumni organizations. It has exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between chapters.

Grand Council
Our Board of Directors is called our "Grand Council." It is the administrative branch of the Fraternity (just as the Congress and the Courts are the legislative and judicial bodies, respectively). Its chairman, the Grand Alpha is elected every two years by the Congress. He then appoints all other members of the Grand Council, who serve without compensation. The Grand Council has general care of the assets of the fraternity and is responsible for the overall welfare of the fraternity between Congresses. It meets at least four times each year.

Regional Alumni Counselors
The Regional Alumni Counselor Program was revived under the authority of Grand Alpha Ronald P. Frank in 2002-2003 to develop alumni involvement, provide additional support to Chapters, increase regional communication, and facilitate the advancement of Chapter Alumni Associations and Chi Phi Clubs. Seven "mid-level" volunteers serve as RACs in various parts of the country.

The Chi Phi National Office
The Chi Phi National Office is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and is home to all administrative affairs of the Fraternity. All communications, reports, fees, and questions directed to the fraternity or to any one of the Grand Officers should be sent to the national office.

The Chi Phi Educational Trust
Chi Phi's educational foundation, The Chi Phi Educational Trust, is overseen by volunteer trustees who serve staggered five year terms. They are elected by a Board of Governors who are elected by the Chi Phi Congress. The Chi Phi Educational Trust provides over $50,000 in financial support to individual students each year and over a quarter-million dollars in support of educational Chi Phi programs.
