How many of you have a "mid-years" convention and or a yearly convention/chapter?

[alumni]

In my fraternity we have at least one mid years convention, sometimes 2, depending upon where it is geographically since we are a national Fraternity. We also have a yearly summer "chapter" which is like a convention where all chapters send at least one representative. I found these to be pretty interesting and a good time, actually a lot more than I expected.

My question is, how many other organizations do the same thing or something similar?

I'd really like to know if your organization has the same or similar practices and if so, could you explain them a little?

For us, the mid-years is usually a 2-3 night convention at a pretty decent hotel with various activities during the day and then meals as well. I'm not to sure about the supreme chapter in the summer, but it is usually more dedicated to doing something (sometimes building for a local organization) or something like that.

So, if you could name your organization, and what kind of things you do, I'd really like to get to know what others do!!! Thanks a lot!
