I really want to go and am still figuring out if it is financially feasible. I have a potential roommate, but I am not sure what assistance is provided to alum chapters in good standing.
Also, for those of you who are going, which airport are you flying into, and do you have info on transportation to/from the airport and hotel? I want to make sure I budget for all of this stuff, AND have some spending money. Of course, I will have to get a few new outfits (this is me justifying to my husband) so I can impress ya'll (not really, I just love to shop).
Latstly, if you have suggestions on what to wear during the non-formal events (service projects, etc.) let me know; shorts/tees/skirts/etc.
If you want to email me privately, PM me and I will give you my home email address.

The Convention information is already up on the National Website which is
www.gammasigmasigma.org
Just click on "2007 Convention" and all of the particulars are there as far as cost, what to wear, etc.
You should double check with the National Treasurer, but I do believe that alumni chapters are eligible for travel pool. Also if the chapter is in good standing Nationals will cover registration for two members. You just have to get there.
Again, check with either your chapter treasurer or our National Treasurer.
I am flying in myself, and I am flying in to O'Hare International in Chicago. However there is another airport, Midway (I think that's the name) you can fly into as well. But most flights will fly you into O'Hare. Be prepared to pay for your own transportation to the resort as the resort doesn't have shuttle service...not sure if the National sorority has made arrangements otherwise, but still be prepared. When I went for our annual meeting I paid about $20 to get there from the Airport. But since is more or less a vacay for me I plan on renting a car for the week (I'll be there a day or two earlier than ya'll
)
