I know I've seen this idea batted around before, but I've never seen anything really done about it. So here's the deal: Omega Delta at UMass Amherst will organise a local fraternities' convention for this summer, IF ten fraternities say they'll come. The school has massive facilities designed for academic conferences- we're completely set up for it.
I'm thinking a Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning. Friday night, social stuff, trips to local bars and clubs, or stuff on campus for underaged guys. Saturday, workshops on rush, housing, problem solving, etc.- chance to compare notes and learn new techniques. Saturday night, intramural competitions- soccer, basketball, etc. Sunday, closing breakfast.
I would think we could have this middle of July sometime. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, e-mail
