What is the role of the Anti-Basileus (Vice President) in a chapter?

The role of the Anti-Basileus, or Vice President, in a chapter is primarily to assist the Basileus (President) in managing the operations of the chapter and to stand in for the Basileus when necessary. One of the key responsibilities often includes overseeing programs and ensuring that events align with the chapter’s objectives; however, this does not inherently mean they automatically become the Program chairman.

In practice, the Vice President supports various aspects of the chapter's functions and can lead programs, but this role can also be fulfilled by different members depending on the specific structure or preferences within the chapter. Thus, the position of the Anti-Basileus is multifaceted and responsive rather than singularly designated to program management.

By understanding this dynamic, it highlights that the Anti-Basileus’s role encompasses broader responsibilities, including collaboration with other officers and members to ensure the chapter's goals are met effectively.

When contemplating the other options, handling social media accounts or maintaining the budget may be designated tasks for other officers or committee members within the chapter rather than the Vice President’s primary duties. Representing the chapter at external events could also fall under the Anti-Basileus's responsibilities, but it is not their defining role compared to their overarching support
