Convention 2008

[SoCalGirl]

If you go as an advisor you'll be expected to go to all the meetings and workshops. The meetings start at like 8:30 am. :yawn: My first convention, in Phoenix, I attended as a visitor. All my roommates were attending as advisors and Alumnae delegates. They may have resented that I slept till 9:30 and then floated around the pull till lunch time.

At first thought, that sounds a little rough, but seeing how I am from Maryland, I'll be able to wake up at 7 and have it feel like sleeping till 10.

So here's what I'm coming up with as my best options. I really would not want to board with 3-4 other women. I just can't. It would be too crazy, I think. Also, I'd like the full time package so I can go to as many of the events as I'd like and the banquets/luncheons.

For me to have a room by myself, I would have to pay $1000.

If I wanted to room with one other person, the price is $700.

If I would like to share a room with 2 other women, then it drops to $600.

The full time registration packet would include:
* Welcome Banquet on Wednesday the 25th
* Foundation Luncheon on Thursday the 26th
* Confirmed Conventionite Celebration on Friday the 27th
* The Alumnae Reunion Luncheon on Saturday the 28th
* The Alumnae/Collegiate Achievement Banquet on Saturday the 28th.

Darn. This is harder than I thought it would be.

So, if I understand everything correctly, for full time, all I have to pay up front to Sigma Kappa is the full time package depending on single($1000), double($700), triple($600), or quad ($548). Then of course, the flight, and the extras, but those aren't paid to Sigma Kappa.

That is correct. That price includes your lodging, the events, and those specific meals at the banquets. Airfare, car rental (if you want one), food & extras are on you.
