Frequently Asked Questions

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE ALUMNAE CHAPTER OFFICER RETREAT?

Anyone listed on an alumnae chapter’s leadership roster in Lyre Links is invited to attend. Alumnae chapters may send as many officers as they choose to the retreat; each attendee should register individually. We hope to see at least one officer registered from every alumnae chapter! 

WHY SHOULD MY ALUMNAE CHAPTER ATTEND?

More than 150 alumnae chapter leaders from across the country gathered for the 2023 Alumnae Chapter Officer Retreat, and we were thrilled to see the impact of that experience - 97% of attendees agreed or strongly agreed that they felt more confident to serve as an alumnae chapter leader following the retreat! We knew that this transformative event should continue as a biennial offering. Networking and connection with leaders from across the country and discovering ideas and best practices for alumnae chapter success will set you and your chapter up to thrive! You won't want to miss out on this valuable opportunity.

WHAT IF I HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED BUT CAN NO LONGER ATTEND?

On or before January 9: Please email lifetime engagement staff to notify us of your cancellation and receive a refund of your registration fee. 
January 10 or later: Please email lifetime engagement staff to notify us of your cancellation. We are unable to refund registration fees after January 10.

CAN I SEND SOMEONE ELSE IN MY PLACE?

Each attendee must register individually. We cannot accommodate substitutions after registration closes, but you may cancel your registration (see above) and the new attendee can register herself.

DO I HAVE TO ATTEND THE ENTIRE TIME?

We ask that all registrants attend all sessions throughout the day unless it is designated as an optional event.

SINCE THE EVENT IS VIRTUAL, WILL THERE BE RECORDINGS OF SESSIONS?

Because many of the small and large group sessions are discussion-based, live attendance is important for the Alumnae Chapter Officer Retreat experience. Limited supplemental resources will remain available following the event.

DO I NEED TO HAVE MY CAMERA ON IN EVERY SESSION?

Please plan to have your webcam on most of the day. When in small group sessions and having discussions, please be prepared to actively engage and participate with your camera on. 

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Please dress comfortably but appropriately for an educational event. Wearing red and green or your favorite Alpha Chi Omega attire is highly encouraged!

WHY IS THERE A COST ASSOCIATED WITH ATTENDING THIS EVENT?

Alpha Chi Omega strives to provide premier training experiences for our volunteers, and we are excited to extend this to our alumnae chapter leaders with the virtual Alumnae Chapter Officer Retreat. Dues alone do not cover all expenses associated with operational support and trainings related to the alumnae experience.
