PLANNING FOR GAC

Get ready for an unforgettable summer! Phi Kappa Psi is thrilled to host the 82nd Grand Arch Council in the sunny paradise of Scottsdale, Arizona. This is the ultimate gathering where our fraternity’s supreme governing body comes together. During the GAC, you’ll get to vote on important changes to our Constitution and Bylaws, dive into exciting discussions about our future, network with amazing alumni, and of course, enjoy the fabulous pools at the Phoenician Hotel.  

What You Need to Know: 

Dates: Arrive on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, and depart on Sunday, July 19, 2026.

Representation: Your chapter must have undergraduate representation at the GAC. Your dues cover the registration cost for 2 members. Want to bring more friends? It’s just an additional $650 per person.

Hotel: Your chapter is contributing to a hotel fee that ensures you have 1 hotel room from July 15 – July 19.

Expenses: Your chapter is responsible for transportation and food expenses. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with four awesome food-related events (Wednesday Welcome Reception, Thursday Lunch, Friday Lunch, Saturday Dinner). 

What You Should Be Doing Now: 

Budgeting: Make sure your chapter treasurer is on top of the budget for the GAC. If you want to send more members, figure out how to fund them. 

Planning: Start talking to your members about this amazing opportunity and decide who will go. July will be here before you know it!
