CONVENTION INFORMATION
CONVENTION OVERVIEW
The Biennial National Convention offers a unique opportunity for Triangle’s of all ages from many parts of the country to meet in the true spirit of brotherhood. Since 1909, the National Convention has held all supreme and legislative powers of the Fraternity. National Convention has six main responsibilities and objectives. They include:
- Installing the National Council
- Enacting legislation for the regulation of the Fraternity
- Providing education for active and alumni members
- Offering opportunities for socializing and networking among brothers
- Honoring chapters and members
- Inducting the 2020, 2021 & 2022 classes of the Wall of Fame
One of the more important decisions a chapter makes is the selection of its delegate(s) to the National Convention, because all formal action taken at the National Convention is the result of democratic voting, and it is typical for chapter delegates to constitute 65 to 75 percent of the total vote. Those with voting privileges at the National Convention include:
- Active chapter delegates (2 per chapter)
- Active chapter alumni delegate
- Alumni association delegate
- Members of the National Council

CONVENTION & LEGISLATION PROPOSALS
Convention Delegation Sessions will take place Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. During this time we will discuss the future of the Fraternity and vote on several legislative amendments involving the Constitution and/or Bylaws. A packet summarizing the proposed legislation, their origins and how they would change our governing documents will be provided via email to all registered attendees and available for download online by April.
We also will host several Zoom events to highlight the proposed legislation and answer questions from participants. All delegates should plan to read all legislative proposals and/or attend one or more Zoom events so they will be prepared for the discussions and voting at Convention.

I HAVE BEEN SELECTED AS ONE OF MY CHAPTER'S VOTING DELEGATES. HOW DO I REGISTER?
On the 2022 National Convention homepage – www.triangle.org/convention – click the button under the middle image “REGISTER NOW” and you will be directed to the registration page. On the registration page follow the instructions under the section header titled “VOTING UNDERGRADUATE DELEGATE.”
While costs for Convention registration and hotel accommodations have been pre-billed for active organizations, a $25 late will is assessed for registrations after June 1.
While a hotel room is built into the National Meeting Assessment fee, after June 10th the hotel block has closed. If you are voting delegate and have registered after June 10, please email Rhonda Halcomb at rhonda@triangle.org or call (317) 837-9640 so she may work to make hotel arrangements.
*During the registration process you have the option to add a spouse/guest, select a single room, and various other add-on’s. These items are NOT included in the pre-billed cost. In order to complete registration, you must purchase these options upon registration check-out.
HOW MANY REGISTRATION SPOTS HAS MY CHAPTER BEEN PRE-BILLED FOR?
Each active organization is entitled to two Undergraduate Voting Delegates and each alumni organization is entitled to one Alumnus Voting Delegate. These delegates have been pre-paid as part of the National Meeting Fee. Please insure your chapter is current with these fee payments. These fees cover the costs of three shared room nights, as well as the meals and materials provided during the event dates.
I AM A VOTING DELEGATE BUT WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY STAY AT THE HOTEL OUTSIDE THE PRE-BILLED DATES. CAN I DO SO? HOW?
While the National Meeting Fee covers the cost of voting delegate’s registration and the hotel room from the afternoon of July 7 to the morning of July 10, it does not cover extended hotel stays. Our special event rate of $139 per night (plus tax/fees) is good for three days before and after our Convention dates (July 7-10). It includes a waiver of the usual resort fee and free self-parking during the Convention dates.
If you choose to extend your stay register for Convention, then book your hotel for ONLY the extended dates. After booking please notify Rhonda Halcomb at (317) 837-9640 or email rhonda@triangle.org with your hotel confirmation information so we may tie your extended booking and the pre-booked Convention hotel room together. Failure to do so may result in individuals having to check out and check in multiple times during a single stay.
If you are not a voting delegate, or are a delegate wanting to extend your stay early or late, you can reserve a room at our Triangle group rate at the link below. Keep in mind, reservations must be made before June 10, to receive our special group rates.

I AM A VOTING DELEGATE PLANNING TO BRING MY MY SPOUSE AND/OR FAMILY MEMBER. HOW DO I REGISTER THEM?
For those registering a spouse or guest, you will simply need to first register yourself and then select “Yes” when asked if you are attending with a Spouse or Guest. You will then list the names and email addresses of each of your guest’s names. Additionally, you will have the options for various add-ons for those guests (i.e. Nightly activities, the Wall of Fame luncheon, single room upcharge, etc.). Contact us at hq@triangle.org if you need any assistance.
I AM AN ALUMNUS WHO IS ONLY PLANNING TO ATTEND PART OF CONVENTION. CAN I DO THIS WITHOUT PAYING THE FULL REGISTRATION FEE?
Absolutely! Any alumnus is welcome to attend Convention and, for your convenience, may choose to attend for a shortened-time via the weekend-package. For a registration fee of $250.00 you will receive the welcome gift, the Friday College Night dinner, Saturday Wall of Fame luncheon, Closing Banquet, and evening hospitality suite invitation. For accurate meal counts please select the meals that do intend on attending. Please note that this fee DOES NOT include lodging. You will need to book your hotel room separately using this link: CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOU HOTEL ROOM.
ARE THERE TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ATTENDEES?
No, there are not. All attendees are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to/from Orlando. Because of Orlando’s popularity, there are reasonable flights to Orlando on all major and economy carriers from almost every major metropolitan area at all hours of the day and night.
THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO IN ORLANDO, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. WHAT DO I DO? WHERE DO I GO?
We want you to be creative and choose whatever you want to do one of the best cities in the country.
