Flying
National Officers, collegiate Official Delegates, and collegiate Alternate Delegates will book their flights through a third-party site called Navan. Once you complete your event registration, you will receive a follow-up email with instructions on how to book your flights through Navan.
Alumnae Official Delegates and general attendees (full and part time) must make their own flight and hotel reservations. These attendees may opt in to the provided ground transportation.
We know flight delays and other travel emergencies happen. When they do, let IO staff know! Attendees will receive an email before Convention with emergency contact information.
Having plenty of clothing options is great, but keep in mind that airlines may charge for some or all bags and/or overweight bags. (Maybe rethink that extra pair of shoes.) All attendees are responsible for these fees and may need a credit card to pay for them.
Convention never seems long enough, but all good things must come to an end. Attendees will return to the airport on Sunday via shuttle buses. We will assign you a time to board the shuttle from the hotel based on your flight departure time. Shuttle times will allow plenty of time for getting through security.
Driving
Attendees who live fewer than 300 miles from the JW Marriott Desert Springs are expected to drive. The Fraternity will reimburse mileage and parking* for all collegiate Delegates and Fraternity-paid National Officers who drive. We encourage collegiate Delegates to carpool when possible. Plus, the drive is more fun with friends!
