The General Assembly is the policy-making authority and, when not in session, such power shall be discharged the Board of Directors. The sessions of the General Assembly shall be held biennially during the month of May on odd-numbered years.
The General Assembly is composed of:
(a) Official delegates who are members in good standing, having been duly authorized by any organizational unit in good standing to be its representatives in all the functions of the General Assembly, and duly registered as such in the records of the Board of Directors upon compliance with all requirements, which the Chair of the Board of Directors shall cause to be published at least six (6) months prior to the General Assembly sessions. Each organizational unit shall be entitled to four (4) official delegates: Provided, however, that, in case the chapter or association, consisting of fraternity and sorority components, fails to participate in at least two (2) successive regular sessions of the General Assembly, the said chapter or association shall be entitled to only four (4) official delegates.
(b) Regular delegates are members in good standing duly authorized by their organizational units to participate in all activities of the General Assembly, except to be a member of the Electoral College and to approve amendments to the Code of By Laws.
(c) Life members and the incumbent officers, although required to register, need not be accredited by any organizational unit to participate in all deliberations and activities of the General Assembly and the Electoral College.
The three (3) primary functions of the General Assembly are:
(a) Legislative. The General Assembly shall be responsible for the determination of policy and the institution of programs, and, in the exercise thereof, it shall constitute itself into the Collegiate Convention, composed of members in good standing of chapters in good standing, and the Alumni Convention, consisting of all members in good standing of alumni associations in good standing, holding sessions separately with their own Chairs and such other officers as may be necessary in the conduct of its business;
(b) Constituent. Whenever so required, the General Assembly may, as part of its policy-making functions, conduct joint sessions for purposes of amending the Code of By-Laws or initiating the amendment thereof through the creation of a Constitutional Commission or the calling for a Constitutional Convention.
(c) Electoral. After the legislative sessions of both Conventions of the General Assembly are completed, the official delegates of all chapters and associations therein represented shall constitute themselves into an Electoral College which shall be responsible for electing the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Council for the next two (2) years.
