Past Presidents at the Tran Class Banquet

The President is the leading representative of the Chapter and head of ExComm. The President's role varies from person to person, but it is generally accepted that she or he is responsible for facilitating communication throughout the Chapter and ExComm.

Official Duties

The President's official duties are the following:

To serve as the presiding officer at regular and special chapter meetings, meetings of the executive committee, and to serve as a member of the advisory committee.
To coordinate the efforts of all other chapter offices.
To appoint officers or establish ad-hoc committees as stated in Article IV of the Bylaws.
To serve as an ex-officio member of all committees.
To see that all national and chapter policies are followed and that the chapter is operated according to the National Articles of association, national bylaws, Chapter Constitution and Bylaws.
To serve as chief spokesperson and primary representative of the Iota Phi chapter.
To have possession of the gavel and bring it to all chapter meetings.
To promote and facilitate chapter involvement in inter-chapter, sectional, regional, and national fraternity events.
To ensure that the Chapter qualifies and applies for the Chapter of Excellence Award.
To prepare a term record, used by the next chapter president.
All other duties as specified in the National Handbook for Chapter Presidents.

See: [Chapter By-Laws]

In Practice

While the by-laws list official duties, officers typically assume greater responsibilities or self-enforced obligations that are either undocumented, assumed, or not particularly well known. The President is responsible for ensuring that ExComm upholds their duties, guiding ExComm to meet deadlines, and facilitating communication. Presidents often address the chapter about important issues that need a proper explanation or reinforcement, such as risk management policy or advice as to how to make the term run more smoothly. People often mistakenly believe that being the president is an easy job, but in a sense, a good president is a little bit of every position since he/she has to know what is going on with most aspects of the chapter to ensure that an officer's work does not conflict with another officer's while being available to Brothers who may have any concerns.
