Sunday is letters/university day, when we encourage you to wear your favorite Alpha Chi Omega or college/university attire! We will move between rooms throughout the weekend, so keep that in mind as you are choosing shoes.
Don’t forget to wear layers, too, as the hotel conference rooms may run cool!
