Conclave is the biennial gathering of the Grand Chapter. But it's so much more than that. Having 1,400 SigEps, spouses, and guests in one location is a celebration of our brotherhood. Young and old, near and far, a large national fraternity suddenly feels like family. Policy is set. National leaders are elected. Buchanan Cups for chapter excellence are awarded. Our highest honor, the Order of the Golden Heart is bestowed. Alumni at the pinnacle of their careers receive the Citation. You can even expect a few surprises along the way…

The first Grand Chapter Conclave was held in December 1907, with seven delegates representing four of nine chapters. Over 100 years later, the Fraternity continues to convene in each odd-numbered year to honor the past, enrich the present and enable the future.
