What is Conclave?

The National Conclave meets biennially on even years.  It is the supreme legislative body of the National Fraternity.  Over 100 brothers will attend from around the country.  During the business meeting and through the work of our committees, constitutional issues are addressed, the National Council is elected, and programs are introduced.  In addition, much of the Conclave is devoted to the fellowship of our members.  Families, spouses and friends are encouraged to attend and enjoy the four days of Fraternity with us!

Who should attend?

  • Each chapter/colony is required to send a delegation of, at least, 3 members.  Preferably, two of the 3 delegates should be current Executive Officers. 
  • Each Alumni Association/House Corps. is required to send, at least, one delegate.
  • Alumni who care about the future of Phi Mu Delta are welcome.
  • All National volunteers are strongly encouraged to attend.
