Hi fellow alum...
Our national conferences (Karnea) are great. Always good to be with the undergrads, and a lot of meetings and other stuff for the alumni as well.
I absolutely agree with you that it is very beneficial for undergrads to attend if at all possible. It lets them see that the fraternity really does mean something past the college years. The brotherhood is important for them to experience. And, of course, it allows them to be a part of the governance of the organization as a whole.
Our alumni chapter is fairly new and we haven't had the money to sponsor undergrads to this point -- we're just starting to offer a couple of small scholarships for our two local chapters.
Generally, though, the house corporations offer some kind of help for Karnea and Division meetings, depending on funds available.
Also, the international offers a modest mileage fee. If you come from a long way, and book a flight early enough, it will sometimes cover travel.
Fraternally,
DeltAlum
