National Council Member Application

The Phi Mu Delta National Council is the volunteer-based governing board of the Phi Mu Delta Fraternity.  The Council provides strategic leadership and execution for the benefit of undergraduate and alumni brothers.

​The National Council is open to nominations/applications during the interval between Conclaves and managed by the Nomination Committee.  For the 2024 Conclave, the committee is soliciting nominations/applications and developing a slate of 4 candidates to be approved by the Conclave.  In addition, nominations may be received from the floor at Conclave.  Any alumnus or graduating collegiate member in good standing is eligible for nomination.  The National President will provide the Nomination Committee a status of standing for current Council members who may be reapplying for the Council.
