New Fraternity nominations process

Here are five things to know about the Leadership Selection Committee (LSC) and the new nominating and election timeline.

Kappa’s election of Fraternity officers and District Directors will take place in spring 2026. You’ll find important information about the process below. In 2022, the Convention body voted to change Kappa’s election of Fraternity officers and District Directors in two important ways:

  • The election will take place online.
  • The election will be completed at least eight weeks prior to Convention, providing time for the transition of Fraternity leadership.

This process provides the opportunity for more delegates to participate in the election as it removes the requirement of attending Convention, which can be a barrier to some. Kappa has contracted a trusted and secure third-party election software company to host our election.

The electronic Fraternity officer and District Director election will take place in spring 2026. The credentialing process will begin in early 2026, and credentialed voters will receive additional information via email, including instructions on how to securely cast their ballot.

Much of the Fraternity’s elections process will remain the same, including:

  • The election will take place online.
  • Voting delegates will have the ability to nominate additional candidates for a position.
  • Candidates must be qualified and eligible, according to the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity Bylaws, Articles IV and VI.
  • The report of the election results will be shared with the membership.
