Your chapter has been slated for a specific Carlson (the one closest to you geographically) and you can view that table above. If you have a conflict and cannot attend the Carlson for which you are slated, email events@sigep.net to explore your options.

The registration and lodging for all eight executive board officers is fully covered by a combination of the chapter’s fall bill and generous donations to the SigEp Educational Foundation’s Annual Fund. In short, the eight executive board officers will not need to pay anything additional for registration or lodging.

All undergraduates attending the Rising Leaders track are responsible for a $175 registration fee and their own lodging costs.

The Fraternity will make your hotel reservation based on the officers registered from your chapter. 

• If you send five to eight officers, we will reserve two rooms for you for arrival on Friday and departure on Sunday. The room/tax will be paid for by the Fraternity.
• If you send four or fewer officers, we will reserve one room for you (also for arrival on Friday and departure on Sunday).

Our Carlson hotel partners only allow four adults per sleeping room. If your executive board officers have extra space in their room (ex: only seven officers can come, so there is one space left), then yes, the rising leader can stay in that hotel room. However, if you do not have extra space, you must reserve and pay for an additional hotel room. If you choose to break hotel policy and have more than four men in a room, you risk being asked to leave by the hotel staff.

Search for your chapter in the table above to register for the Carlson you're slated to attend.

The opening kickoff will begin promptly at 8 p.m. Friday evening. However, there will be an optional session for all undergraduates and volunteers sharing high-level BMP updates from 6:30 - 7:15 PM. Plan to check in (and eat dinner!) prior. Programming will continue throughout Saturday, wrapping up after dinner around 8:30 p.m. Most attendees will stay Saturday evening at the hotel and depart Sunday at their leisure. Here is a general program schedule:

Reach out to Programs & Events Director, Stacy Nicodemus!

This year’s volunteer education is designed to equip volunteers with the necessary tools and information to support their chapters through a year of change with modernizing the BMP, Ritual updates, new technology, and implementing the strategic plan of increasing growth through retention and recruitment. Session topics will include:

The State of SigEp - Organizational Updates and New Initiatives
The New Balanced Man Program
Implementing the New SigEp Ritual
SigEpU: Our New Learning Management System for Volunteers and Undergraduates
Recruitment Beyond Rush

Thanks to the generosity of our annual fund donors, volunteers have a discounted registration fee of $175/person — which includes all meals on Saturday, program materials, etc. Volunteers are responsible for their own lodging and travel expenses.

With the critical information that will be shared at this year’s Carlson, we recommend AVCs subsidize or cover the cost for one of the key volunteer roles who can bring the information back to the AVC: chapter counselor, balanced man steward, mentor for recruitment or mentor of communications.

The opening session will begin promptly at 8 p.m. Friday evening. Plan to check in (and eat dinner!) prior. Programming will continue through Saturday evening. Most attendees will stay Saturday night at the hotel and depart Sunday at their leisure. Here’s a general schedule:

Registration will be available in mid-October!
