National Convention

Each year, toward the end of summer, the Brothers of Alpha Delta Gamma meet at the annual National Convention of the National Chapter or National Assembly. Unlike many fraternities which invite only delegates to attend, Alpha Delta Gamma’s national meetings are open to each and every Brother.

The purpose of the National Convention is to legislate the affairs of the Fraternity. The Fraternity also places a great emphasis upon the social nature of the National Convention. The greatest reason for having an annual meeting is to meet our Brothers from other Chapters across the country. Some friendships formed at Conventions last a lifetime. Active Chapters serve as hosts for the National Conventions.

2012 Convention
The 81st National Convention will be held August 7th – 11th in Louisville, KY and will be hosted by the brothers of Xi Chapter at Louisville Marriott Downtown. For more information and registration please visit the official converntion website: 2012 Convention Website.
