An important strength of Phi Eta Sigma is its democratic, student-led government established in its Constitution and Laws. Student delegates attending biennial national conventions vote on Society policies and elect national officers and other members of the national Executive Committee. The Executive Committee, which includes national officers, chapter advisers, and students, oversees the business of the Society, and the national office staff manages general operations.
