What do you call your national convention?
 

I'm currently working on updating the wikipedia page "List of Zeta Phi Beta grand boulés" (including changing e to é) and I noticed that it has some of them as "joint Boulé/Conclave with Phi Beta Sigma".

So Looking at the category the page is in I see the following
National Convention: Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Phi Omega, Delta Sigma Theta and Kappa Kappa Psi/Tau Beta Sigma, Theta Phi Alpha
Grand Boulé: Alpha Kappa Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta
Grand Conclave/Conclave:Kappa Sigma, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta SSigma
Grand Arch Councils: Phi Kappa Psi

What does your GLO call them?

Grand Chapter.

Delta Gamma uses the term Convention.

Alpha Sigma Tau = Convention

International Leadership Forum (ILF)

Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) uses Ekklesia (We just finished our 170th in Dallas, TX, yesterday.)

Alpha Sigma Alpha calls it National Convention and Leadership Conference.

Convention. We're boring like that. :p

National Convention, every 2 years. Conclave is held on off convention years, at Miami University (OH).

Is one event legislative and the other is not?

Grand Convention

Boule

Correct! Conclave is centered around our undergrads though some alumni do attend. I attended one Conclave and I was bored.

Convention, with a capital C. We spell Sorority with a capital S, too. ;)

"International Convention" every even year and "Leadership & Recruitment University" every odd year.

ZBT- "BROTHERHOOD FOR A LIFETIME"

International Convention (held every other year)

Alpha Kappa Alpha is Boule, not Grand Boule.

Sorry, Grand Boule is Zeta Phi Beta. But I believe are both spelled with an e with an accent, not a bare e.

Also, is the use of Boule to represent a meeting original with Alpha Kappa Alpha? And where did its use come from?

Our top legislative body is the National Assembly. The National Assembly meets in the context of the larger National Convention.

Just to keep things confusing.

The correct spelling, per our international website, is Boule, as written.

As we are a Greek letter organization, Greek words/phrases/terms are used. Boule = parliament or legislative council.

Among Black orgs, Sigma Pi Phi may have been first to use the term "Boule" in this sense, though I admittedly wouldn't know if any predominately white organizations would have used it prior to Sigma Pi Phi's founding.

Delta Sigma Phi - Convention
Sigma Phi Epsilon - Conclave
Zeta Beta Tau - Convention
Phi Kappa Sigma - Convention

That's all I know off of the top of my head.
