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.
