In what form of governance do individual DKE chapters operate?

Individual DKE chapters operate under a model of self-governance. This means that each chapter has the autonomy to manage its affairs, make decisions regarding its members, and establish its own rules and regulations, all while adhering to the overall principles and guidelines set by the national fraternity. This structure allows chapters to cater their activities, recruitment practices, and community involvement to align with their unique culture and the needs of their members.

Self-governance fosters a sense of responsibility and leadership among chapter members, encouraging them to take initiative and actively participate in the decision-making process. This model also supports the development of individual leadership skills, as members must work collaboratively to ensure their chapter thrives within the broader framework of DKE's national values and mission.
