- Will I need to bring a laptop or personal computer to this event?
Bringing a laptop or personal computer is not required but may alter the experience of attendees. Those uncomfortable conducting their voting via their phone should plan to bring a laptop or personal computer. Computers will be provided on site but can not be guaranteed for all participants
- Will chapters who do not attend the event be penalized?
Yes, a fine will be assessed for Chapters who do not attend Convocation. It is also important to note, if you do not attend Convocation, you will be forfeiting your vote at the business sessions.
To underscore the significance of participation, The Grand Council has unanimously approved a non-attendance fee for Convocation. Moving forward, chapters who choose not to attend the 2024 Convocation will incur this fee. This fee will be calculated as either $1,000 or 5% of the chapter’s annual dues—whichever is greater.
Also, if you do register for the event and have to cancel your registration, there is a cancellation fee.
- Will attendance be taken at the event?
Yes, attendance will be tracked during this event. Attendees will have a QR code on their nametag (distributed by Sigma Pi at registration) that is scanned as members go in and out of each session they attend.
- How do chapters select their delegate?
It is recommended that each Chapter provide in its local bylaws for the manner in which to elect or appoint its Convocation delegates. For those who have not predetermined this process in their own chapter documents, please reach out to Russell Kizior, Director of Events at rkizior@sigmapi.org.
- What happens if the chapter delegate is unable to attend the event?
Chapters who are unable to send their delegate will be expected to have an alternate delegate in place who will attend in the absence of the initial delegate (Please refer to previous question for process on identifying alternate delegate).
- Can the chapter bring more members than the delegate and alternate delegate?
Absolutely! All members of Sigma Pi are welcome and encouraged to attend Convocation. Attendees do not have to be a delegate or alternate delegate to participate in the event.
- How do I apply for awards?
The awards application will be available on our Awards page with detailed breakdowns of what each award is. Learn more at sigmapi.org/fraternity/awards
