Council of Chapter Officers 

Phi Kappa Phi is launching a Council of Chapter Officers (COCO), creating new opportunities for chapter leaders to share insights, strengthen chapter success, and help shape Society initiatives.

Building on the foundation of the former Chapter Development Committee, the Council serves as an advisory for the Chapter and Institutional Relations team, the National Office, Executive leadership, and the Board of Directors. The dedication and insight of chapter officers are among the Society’s greatest strengths, and the Council provides a meaningful way to share that expertise at the national level.

Why Serve on the Council of Chapter Officers?

Serving on the Council offers you the opportunity to:

  • Provide chapter perspectives directly to Society leadership
  • Contribute to initiatives that impact chapters nationwide
  • Represent the voice of chapters in organizational planning
  • Share best practices and innovative ideas with peers
  • Strengthen your leadership and professional experience
  • Expand your network with fellow chapter leaders

The priorities of the Council will vary depending on the strategic and operational needs of the organization. Members are expected to attend and actively participate in all meetings. The Council will be convened virtually approximately quarterly, with additional electronic collaboration or ad hoc working groups as needed. Members who are unable to attend meetings or participate in assigned activities may be removed from the Council.

The Council will consist of approximately 6–8 volunteers appointed by the Senior Director of Institutional Relations and Board Director Alison Gregory following an application process.

If you are passionate about chapter success and ready to contribute beyond your campus, we encourage you to apply!
