Event fees

• Event fees for required delegates are paid through the Chapter’s international dues. Chapters are required to send two delegates. Prospective chapters are required to send one delegate.
• Additional brothers attending the event beyond the required delegates will need to pay the event fee that covers food, accommodations, etc.
• Hotel rooms are covered by your fees so you do not need to book accommodations.

Travel expenses

• The chapter or the individual brother is responsible for travel costs as well as making their own arrangements to get to New York. We encourage speaking with your Finance Director because the chapter budget should include funds for travel to the event.
• You will need some spending money for a few meals and any time you spend out and about in the city. Inexpensive food options are plentiful around Times Square.

Travel assistance

• Utilize your campus resources, such as Fraternity/Sorority Life Office or Student Activities. Oftentimes the institution can provide financial assistance for travel to Fraternity leadership programs.
• ZBT International Headquarters offers a limited assistance for chapters on a sliding scale based on need.

Hotel rooms

• Rooms are included with undergraduate registration fees for three nights.

Delegates should arrive at the Marriott Marquis Times Square by 2:30 p.m. Aug. 10 to register and prepare for the opening session. Travel home can be anytime on Sunday, Aug. 13.

This event is in Times Square, one of the busiest tourism locations in the world. It is exciting — but plan accordingly!

• Fly: LaGuardia (LGA) is the closest airport, but  JFK and Newark (EWR) airports are also convenient to the city.
• Subway Station: MTA Times Square
• Train Station: Penn Station or Grand Central

As the Fraternity believes strongly in the importance of the International Convention as an avenue for brothers to interact, network and learn from one another, attendance is required for every active chapter.

• Every chapter is required to send two delegates. Full event participation, including attendance at every session, including general and education sessions, is required. Event fees for these two brothers are included in international dues.
• Prospective chapters are required to send one delegate. Full participation is similarly required.
• Additional brothers from your chapter are encouraged to attend. Additional attendees beyond the required delegation must register and pay the full event fee of $600 by July 1.
• Travel to and from New York is not included in the registration cost.

If your chapter does not meet this expectation:

• Those chapters that do not register and subsequently attend the 2023 International Convention in full are subject to a $1,900 fine at the directive of the Supreme Council.
• Undergraduate brothers who register but don’t attend and actively participate in the event will be subject to a higher fine of $1,100 per brother, or $2,200 per chapter, due to the event production cost invested in the brother.
• You may cancel or replace delegates before July 1 at no charge.
• Those found to be non-compliant will have an opportunity to show cause to the Supreme Council for the challenge before the fine is levied.
• Registration after July 1 will incur a late fee of $150 per person.
