Which document outlines discipline and financial policies for chapters?

• A. The Constitution and Statutory Code
• B. The Ritual of Alpha Kappa Psi
• C. Chapter Bylaws
• D. Board of Directors Policy

Answer: (A)

The governing document that sets discipline and financial policies for chapters is the national Constitution and Statutory Code. This document establishes the authority and procedures for how chapters and members are governed, including how violations are handled and how funds—dues, assessments, budgets, and financial reporting—are managed across all chapters. The Ritual covers ceremonial practices, not disciplinary or financial rules. Chapter Bylaws are local rules created by individual chapters to govern their operations, but they must conform to the national rules. Board of Directors Policy provides internal guidance, but the primary source for discipline and financial policy at the chapter level is the Constitution and Statutory Code.
