Carlson programming will focus on eight executive officers: chapter president, VP of member development, VP of recruitment, chaplain, VP of SigEp Learning Community, VP of communications, VP of finance and VP of programming. 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.
A track for rising leaders will also be geared towards brothers who hope to hold an executive board position in the future and wish to further grow their skills to be successful in any leadership situation. It will focus on the building blocks of great leadership. This track is perfect for committee chairmen and up-and-coming leaders.
Carlson is not just for undergraduate leaders! Volunteer-specific education, featuring both foundational training and role-based roundtables, will be featured at every program.

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.

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.
