I don't really want to say which org I'm in, because some of my other threads have been about problems that I've had with the girls in my chapter. But we currently have 20 members, so it would be a minimum of 10 girls at conference. It actually used to be 75%, but we petitioned our nationals to change it to 50% for us and the other East Coast chapter. The West coast chapters still have to send 75%, even if conference is in NorCal and the chapter is in SoCal. We only have 11 chapters, so it would be a VERY, VERY small conference if only one person (the president) had to attend from each chapter. In addition, there is usually a big party the night before the actual conference, there is a dinner and sleepover for all the new initiates, and there is a lunch where we can mingle and get to know girls from other chapters. But, I do agree that it would be so much easier and better if the requirement was lower (like just requiring the president and a delegate to attend).
As far as lodging goes, that's taken out of our treasury so girls don't have to pay out of pocket. The only thing girls need to pay is their plane ticket and bringing spending money (for meals and souveneirs). But right now, plane tickets are so expensive.
