Dee, thank you so much for looking into that! :)

*bump*

Convention is inching ever closer...make sure you send in your registration forms from the Quarterly! :)

Just made this thread sticky because I want all sisters who find their way to GC to know what's going on! Less than a year left, girls!

I'm glad there is finally some info about Convention in the Quarterly. I need to send for a packet! :)

hey i can't find my quarterly - does anybody know the address to send for packets????

You can email IHQ at info@alphagammadelta.org and provide them with your Name, Mailing Address, Collegiate Chapter and Year of Initiation!

For those of impatient folks....

The registration packet is on the website.

Download it by clicking here.

If you are sharing a room it is $895. And for a single it is $400 more.

I hope my tax return is big. :D

YEAH! I'm so excited! The money that I receive back in 3 weeks from my benefits account will cover my registration fee almost to the penny! Once I get my airfare, I'm in the clear. :D

Now I just have to figure out if hubby will want to come along, or if I need to find a roommate. Any volunteers, lol? ;)

Me!
 

Did ya notice that you could park 1.5 days for the same amount you could fly? :)

I had "heard" the cost might be about $1200 registration so this is terrific.

Can anyone from IHQ tell us if/when the chapters will get the info?

I sent an email to my team so they could spread the word. The Gamma Taus (collegians) all want to go, but they will have to have a HUGGGGGEEEE FASTTTTT fundraiser;)

Hubby would prob love to go but I definitely wouldn't have time to spend with him, lol. After all, I see him almost every day now, lol but I can see some sisters once every 4 years or may be never again.

Re: Me!
 

After hearing about the costs of the LAST convention, Delta Sigma knew that they had to start the fundraising AT LEAST two years before. Since then they've been washing cars, selling benefit chili and chicken, and stuffing an ookamilliongazillion amounts of envelopes (just to name a few). They're looking to send a record amount of collegians next year. In Atlanta there were FIVE of us!

Sandy, yea, I know ;) Something tells me most won't go:(
Oh well, maybe they can go to the 101st:D

Re: Me!
 

ETA: Nevermind:) I got 2 packets in the mail. One for the Chapter and one for me.
Looks awesome!

All day I have been trying to get the convention link to work and then finally I ventured out into the snow to get the mail and there was my packet.... yeah!!!

So I need advise... I have never been before and yes it would be nice to stay at the hotel but the price is too high, has anyone gone before and not stayed at the hotel? What was it like? Did you feel excluded or anything? Or was it just inconventant to have to leave the hotel all the time?

Also what about dress, I know dinners are nice but how are they evening gown formal? And spending allowances, how much are we thinking?

As to the hotel, can they price the hotel at more than a double occupancy, thinking that this would lower the cost...

As for clothing...
You see all sorts of clothing options.I have seen dressy pant suits to formal long dresses and chic cocktail dresses. For the Honors of Epsilon Pi banquet collegians wear white while alums wear pastels to white. No bare shoulders or backs for this night.

Daytime clothing is usually business casual-no jeans.

Ditto on the daytime clothing. One of the biggest misconceptions my chapter girls had when we went to convention last time was that everyone was going to wear POWER SUITS. Um, so not the case. I don't know why we thought that.

Already found my Initiation/Honors of Epsilon Pi dress. The
Hawaii girls already have it made because white mu`umu`u always looks great!

RIE!!! I wonder if we'll be on the same flight again! LOL :D
