Who Attends

Any ZTA alumna or collegian is invited to attend Convention, and we expect over 800 members will join us in Grapevine this summer.

Before you register, please determine the correct registration option for you from the list below.

Collegians

  • Collegiate Official Delegate (Full time): The collegiate Official Delegate is usually the chapter President or the highest-ranking chapter officer attending Convention.
  • Collegiate Alternate Delegate (Full time): Each collegiate chapter should send emerging leaders as the Alternate Delegate(s) The Province President/Mentor/Director of New Chapters will confirm how many alternate delegates your chapter is approved to send to Convention. All delegates other than the Official Delegate are considered alternates.
  • General Collegiate Attendee (Full-time): This option is for any collegian who is attending Convention full time but not as a delegate representing the chapter and thus not paid for by the chapter.
  • General Collegiate Attendee (Part-time): This option is for any collegian attending Convention part time but not as a delegate for the chapter. Part-time attendees will select and pay for options a-la-carte style. Part-time attendees pay for registration individually.

Alumnae

  • Alumnae Delegate (Full time): Alumnae Official Delegates and Alternate Delegates can attend Convention full time. The alumnae Official Delegate is usually the chapter President or the highest-ranking chapter officer attending Convention, but any dues-paying alumnae chapter member may serve as an alumnae Official Delegate. An alumnae chapter may also send an Alternate Delegate. The Alternate Delegate is typically a chapter officer. However, holding an office is not a requirement to serve as an alumnae Alternate Delegate.
  • Alumnae Delegate (Part time): Alumnae Official Delegates and Alternate Delegates also have the option to attend Convention part time. However, it should be noted that Official Delegates are required to attend all business meetings in order to serve in the Official Delegate role and vote on behalf of their chapter.

For those who are unable to join us for every day of Convention, part-time attendance might be a good option. There will be an “a la carte” menu in the registration process. Part-time attendees have the option to stay at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center. Part-time attendance is only an option for those using personal funds.
