Alumni Weekend Update

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.

Have a great Christmas!

Zetes Cross the Border for 2014 Convention

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. 

Save the Date for Alumni Weekend 2015!

SAVE THE DATE! Alumni Weekend 2015 will be April 23 through April 26.

Next year marks the Pi Chapter's 150th anniversary, so we decided to hold a four night / three day Alumni Weekend to celebrate! Stay tuned for important details regarding preregistration, room blocks at local hotels, and everything else that you'll need to know in order to attend!

Also, if you'd like to help plan this joyous affair, please email the Alumni Weekend Committee at aw@pizetes.org. Thanks!
