Hey all! The registration link for Alumni Weekend will go live in early 2015. Stay tuned for that.
We are happy to announce that Dinosaur BBQ will be catering Saturday's lunch at the house. They'll be cooking on site, you don't want to miss their pulled pork and brisket, trust us!!!
Also, we've secured a block of rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn in Troy due to high demand for rooms (and we still have a few rooms left at the Albany Marriott). Check out the Alumni Weekend subpage for the group code.

Zetes Cross the Border for 2014 Convention
The 2014 international convention was held August 20- 23rd in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Niagara Falls, Ontario. Both the US and Canadian sides of the falls are hopping tourist areas, but the Canadian has the better view which half the hotel guests get from their rooms. Despite concerns about passports, for the first time in years all 50 active chapters were represented.
