National Events
In addition to local affairs, the fraternity seeks to promote itself both internally and externally through a variety of national events.
National Meeting
Members of each chapter gather to discuss the general welfare of the fraternity multiple times throughout the year. Issues deemed essential to the organization are brought up, such as future plans and the status of each chapter's growth.
"Chapter Wars"
Each summer, members of all chapters gather in New York City to participate in a variety of competitive events, including eating contests, relay races, football, basketball, and softball. The intent of this event is to further increase relations between members of different chapters through friendly competition, as well as to allow both active members and alumni a medium of social interaction over the summer.
National Semi-Formal
In June, the fraternity holds its national semi-formal. The semi-formal is designed as a way for members to interact in a more formal, yet relaxing atmosphere. It is also here where achievement awards are given to members and entire chapters, including the Establishment of the Year award. This award was instituted in 2003.
National Mixers
In addition to holding internal events on a national level, the fraternity also holds social events with nationally-recognized sororities. These events further integrate members into their communities, and they provide a medium for meeting new people from various locations across the country.
World of Dance New York
The fraternity hosts a yearly dance festival with World of Dance Tour, Inc. in the New York City area. The events boast thousands of attendees and over fifty crews from around the globe. Guest performers at World of Dance events in the past have included Jabbawockeez, Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, Poreotics, Kaba Modern, Future Funk, Chi Town's Finest Breakers and Mos Wanted Crew.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or events:
“Reporters for tabloid newspapers beat a path to the park entrance each summer when the national convention of nudists is held, but the cult’s requirement that visitors disrobe is an obstacle to complete coverage of nudist news. Local residents interested in the nudist movement but as yet unwilling to affiliate make observations from rowboats in Great Egg Harbor River.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“I have no time to read newspapers. If you chance to live and move and have your being in that thin stratum in which the events which make the news transpire—thinner than the paper on which it is printed—then these things will fill the world for you; but if you soar above or dive below that plane, you cannot remember nor be reminded of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
