All executive officers (including secretary and historian) will complete position-specific and general officer online modules.

The modules can be accessed through the Pi Kapp Hub on the Virtual Journey and completion will be tracked. You should set aside at least 90 minutes to complete all assigned modules. 

Modules will be available to officers assigned in Chapter Gateway beginning on November 15, 2025 and must be completed by January 1, 2026 (or by January 31, 2026, for the secretary and historian). 

The following positions will be required to complete position-specific in-person sessions at Pi Kapp College for Chapter Officers: archon, vice archon, treasurer, warden, chaplain, risk management chairman, philanthropy chairman and standards board chairman. Sessions are designed to review components of your role, dive deeper into your vital responsibilities and provide opportunities to engage with real-life scenarios.

Attendance will be taken for each portion of the training for all officers. Below is an outline of the attendance expectations:

  • All officers attending Pi Kapp College are required to complete their modules by January 1, 2026. Those who have not done so will not be allowed to check in until they are completed.
  • Secretaries and historians need to complete their modules by January 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Failure to do so will result in a $100 fine and possible removal from office.
  • 100 percent completion/attendance of all training components (online and in-person) related to Pi Kapp College for Chapter Officers will count toward the chapter’s insurance rebate for the upcoming year.
  • Failure to communicate any registration substitutions, without a valid explanation to your chapter’s director of chapter services, will result in a $100 chapter fine per substitution.

Each chapter is responsible for its own travel expenses, and the archon should coordinate the entire delegation’s travel plans to ensure everyone arrives and departs on time. If you are flying, all flights should be booked at least three weeks in advance of the conference. 

If you are driving, parking will be available at the hotel. For those traveling by rental car, the Fraternity strongly encourages the purchase of Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) and a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)/Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) from the rental car company. This protection will add approximately $20 to $25 per day to the cost of the rental car but will protect the driver and the Fraternity from injury or damage claims. 

Additional travel information will be available as the conference approaches. 

Lodging in the conference hotel is included in your registration fee. Each delegate shares a room with three other delegates from his chapter. Every delegate must stay on-site, even if your chapter is local to the area. 

Dinner on Friday, as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday are provided as part of the chapter’s registration fee. All other meals are at your expense. 

The conference attire is business casual (i.e., flat front pants and a polo or blazer, button up, slacks and closed-toe shoes). The Awards Banquet is business professional; suit and tie with dress shoes is appropriate. Please feel free to travel in comfortable clothes and change when you arrive at the hotel.
