Carlson Undergraduate FAQ

No Result

Who should plan to attend Carlson?

Carlson programming will focus on eight executive officers: President, VP of communications, VP of finance, VP of member development, VP of programming, VP of recruitment, VP of SigEp Learning Community, and Chaplain. Every newly elected officer in these roles should plan to attend. Because the programming is tailored and specific to officers currently in this role, replacements may not be sent in their place if the elected brother cannot attend, except in rare circumstances. Should such a situation arise, please email events@sigep.net as soon as possible.

A track for all other undergradutes is also available at Carlson for those who wish to further grow their SigEp leadership “why” and build valuable sales skills that can be applied to their chapter and personal experiences. This track is ideal for recruitment chairmen and committee members as well as those men who want to further hone their abilities to sell SigEp and themselves.

Carlson is not just for undergraduate leaders! Volunteer-specific education, featuring both foundational training and role-based roundtables, will be featured at every program.

Which Carlson will my chapter attend? Can we go to any program?

Your chapter has been slated for a specific Carlson based on the distance between your college/university and the Carlson host city. You can see the program you’re slated to attend on the table here. If you or your chapter has a conflict and cannot attend the Carlson for which you are slated, email events@sigep.net as soon as possible to explore your options.

How much will it cost to attend Carlson?

The registration and lodging for all eight executive board officers is fully covered by a combination of the chapter’s spring 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 Growth Skills track are responsible for a $175 registration fee and their own lodging costs.

You say that lodging is covered for the executive board officers. How does that work?

The Fraternity will make your hotel reservation based on the number of 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).

I know lodging for The Growth Skills track isn’t covered in their registration fee. Can they just stay in a hotel room with their executive board officers?

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, this brother 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.

How do I register or sign up for Carlson?

Registration information will be available in mid-October!

When should we arrive at Carlson? And when should we plan to leave?

The opening kickoff will begin promptly at 8 p.m. Friday evening. Plan to check in (and eat dinner!) prior. Programming will continue throughout Saturday, wrapping up after dinner around 7:30 p.m. Most attendees will stay Saturday evening at the hotel and depart Sunday at their leisure. Here is a general program schedule:
