Who Attends

Any ZTA alumna or collegian is invited to attend Convention. We expect over 1,000 members to join us in Palm Desert 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 another chapter officer designated to attend Convention.
  • Collegiate Alternate Delegate (Full time): Most collegiate chapters send Alternate Delegates. The Collegiate National Officer will confirm who and how many Alternate Delegates the chapter is approved to send. All Delegates other than the Official Delegate are considered alternates.
  • General Collegiate Attendee (Full-time): This option is for any collegian attending 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 part time but not as a delegate for the chapter. Part-time attendees will select and pay for options à la carte. Part-time attendees pay for registration individually.

Alumnae

  • Alumnae Delegate (Full time): The alumnae Official Delegate is usually the chapter President or the highest-ranking chapter officer attending Convention, but any alumnae chapter member may serve as the alumnae Official Delegate for her chapter.
  • Alumnae Delegate (Part time): An alumnae chapter may 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.
  • General Alumnae Attendee (Full-time): This option is for any alumna attending full time but not as a delegate for an alumnae chapter or in a required role on behalf of the Fraternity, FHC, or Foundation.
  • General Alumnae Attendee (Part-time): This option is for any alumna attending part time but not as a delegate for an alumnae chapter or in a required role on behalf of the Fraternity, FHC, or Foundation. Part-time attendees will select and pay for options à la carte.

Full-time vs. Part-time Attendance

Full-time Attendance

We hope everyone will take advantage of all that Convention has to offer! Full-time attendance includes all Convention programs, events, and meals. Anyone using Fraternity and/or chapter funds to attend Convention should attend full time. This includes collegiate and alumnae Delegates and National Officers.

Part-time Attendance

For those who are unable to join us every day of Convention, part-time attendance might be a good option. There will be an à la carte menu in the registration process. Part-time attendees have the option to stay at the JW Marriott Desert Springs. Part-time attendance is only an option for those using personal funds.

Non-ZTA Guests

Non-ZTA guests are allowed to attend meals and special programming. ZTA Business Meetings are private and only open to ZTA members. If you plan to bring a guest, you may register and pay for their attendance when completing the online registration.
