What is the governing document for DKE chapters called?

The Constitution and Bylaws serve as the governing document for DKE chapters, outlining the fundamental principles, rules, and regulations that guide the operations and governance of the fraternity. This document establishes the framework within which chapters operate, detailing the responsibilities of members, the procedures for meetings, the voting process, and the standards for membership. It ensures consistency and adherence to the fraternity's values across all chapters, providing a clear structure for decision-making and conflict resolution. While other documents like the Chapter Charter or Operational Guidelines may exist to provide additional context or specific procedures, the Constitution and Bylaws are central to the fraternity's legal and organizational framework, making them the definitive governing document for all chapters.
