Triangle National Meetings and Conventions
National Convention is the legislative body of the Fraternity in which undergraduate and alumni delegates, along with National Council, enact legislation and adopt positions on matters of national importance.
In 1973, Triangle returned to a former practice of biennial instead of annual legislative meetings. In non-Convention years, a National Meeting combined Leadership School with other sessions and workshops of interest to actives and alumni.
In 1988, the National Meeting became solely a Leadership School focused on undergraduate members. Leadership School includes the Awards Luncheon and Annual Banquet.
