I am curious, I was reading through the materials for the next DG convention this summer and see that the chapter presidents and alumnae presidents go to convention at the expense of the Fraternity. Meaning, although each chapter/alum chapter pays the convention fee ($200) and the registration fee ($175), the remainder, including hotel, lunch, dinner and AIRFARE is paid for by the Fraternity. The officer pays incidentals. All other is paid for completely, and not her personal expense.

I'm wondering if other GLOS have a similar policy or are you on your own to foot the bill? I think this is rather smart of DG because it assures proper representation at these events where policy and constitution changes are voted upon.
I WISH we did that, but you have to have the resources to be able to do it.

Gamma Phi pays a small amount for some collegians but alumnae chapters are on their own. This will be my 3rd convention (provided I get the time off) and I got about $200 from my alumnae chapter for the last two conventions to go as the delegate (I was Pres). This year, I will be completely on my own (but not a delegate) for cost.

I believe IH reimburses some International Officers.
