Which item is NOT a requirement for establishing a new chapter (Art VI)?

• A. University must be a 4 year accredited institution
• B. Must demonstrate a need for the frat
• C. Must have a functional E board and fulfill the constitution
• D. Must have a physical campus in a major city

Answer: (D)

The requirements under Article VI focus on ensuring a solid hosting institution, genuine need for the fraternity, and solid governance. A four-year accredited university provides a credible, stable setting for a chapter to operate. Demonstrating a need shows there’s sufficient interest and justification for expansion. Having a functional executive board and operating under the constitution demonstrates preparedness to govern and maintain order within the chapter. In contrast, requiring a physical campus in a major city adds a geographic constraint that isn’t stated in the rule set and isn’t necessary for establishing a chapter. There’s no mandate about city size or specific campus location, so that condition isn’t a requirement.
