The National Constitution outlines the minimum required officers for each collegiate chapter. Those are President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Initiate Advisor, Historian, and Parliamentarian.

Alternative Positions

Many chapters have added additional Executive Board positions.

Dual Vice Presidents
Some chapters split their Vice Presidential duties between two positions, allowing each to focus on a specific area. The responsibilities may be divided several different ways, but one common way is to have one Vice President responsible for all internal chapter matters and one Vice President responsible for all external affairs.
