I have been registered for and attended every regional conference and National Convention that has occurred in the three years since I have been a Soror. The year I was initiated, we were in a regional conference cycle so I attended the Eastern regional conference in Dc. I was in Chicago and was a hostess chapter member for the next Eastern regional conference in B-more. I was registered for ATL on the day registration opened and will be there as well.
Conference are expensive! Even on a good budget if they are not "in your area" they can add up. I was fortunate in that I could drive to DC and live in B-more although I stayed in hotels for both, I was piled up in the room with Sorors so they were the "cheap" years. That way I had more money to dedicate to the National Conventions. Also, I plan my financial life all year around dues and conventions so i can go. I tend to only take one other trip in a year (not including visiting a friend where I pay the airfare and she provides me with shelter and probably food while I'm there) so this is my treat to myself!
