What are the primary duties of the President?

• A. Advise on parliamentary procedure.
• B. Preside over meetings, oversee chapter operations, represent the chapter, and ensure compliance with rules.
• C. Collect dues and maintain ledgers.
• D. Maintain minutes and records.

Answer: (B)

The President’s main job is to lead the chapter’s governance and direction. This means presiding over meetings to keep discussions orderly and decisions clear, supervising chapter operations to ensure activities run smoothly and align with the group’s goals and rules, and representing the chapter to campus officials, alumni, and external partners as the official spokesperson. They also take responsibility for making sure the chapter follows its rules and policies, helping maintain good standing and ethical standards.

Other functions described in the options belong to different officers: advising on parliamentary procedure is typically handled by a parliamentarian or an appointed advisor; collecting dues and maintaining ledgers is the Treasurer’s duty; keeping minutes and records is the Secretary’s task.
