Per Fraternity Laws, chapters and alumni associations must submit proof of their filing of the required IRS Form 990 annually to the Fraternity Service Center.
Unless a group, such as an alumni association, does not have a Federal Tax ID number and operates ONLY on a cash basis — meaning no checking account, savings account or credit card in the name of the organization — this form must be completed. The Convention Credentialing Committee will review this information as part of the credentialing requirements and determine if the group will be cleared to vote.
