Mentoring program information
Each biennium, a large number of women come to our convention never having attended an event of this magnitude. While some have the experience of an advisor to rely on during this sometimes intimidating time, many plan for and attend convention without any inside knowledge.
In an effort to help our members have the best possible experience at the convention and leadership conference, Alpha Sigma Alpha is seeking women who’ve previously attended convention to serve as mentors to first-time attendees. No special volunteer role or training is required; you simply need to have attended one or more Alpha Sigma Alpha national conventions.
Emporium information
Alpha Sigma Alpha is looking for people to be part of the emporium at the national convention and leadership conference. The emporium will be held on Friday, July 18 from 11:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Booth space is free for Alpha Sigma Alpha alumnae members and $25 for all other vendors. The emporium is a great place for Greek merchandise, local crafts and gifts, home-business owners and even alumnae chapters who would like to raise money. For more information, please review the emporium guidelines below and complete a registration form to reserve your booth.
