Register for Tri-Sects 2010

Hi Everybody,

*Hi Candice*

This is just a reminder to register for the Section 47/50/51 Conference which is less than a month away! Section 50 has less than 20 actives registered at this time and I know we can do better than this. The early bird price of $28 ends on March 3rd, so be sure to register soon so you don't get stuck with the regular cost of $33. Please encourage as many actives, pledges, advisors and alumni to register for this event because it is an excellent opportunity to attend valuable workshop, expand your skill set and HAVE FUN with brothers from across the region. Also, if you planning to attend an APO LEADS course during the conference sign up ASAP or your spot may not be guaranteed since those seminars are filling up fast. Despite the chapter being able to submit a joint payment for registration fees each member that is attending still needs to register individually online so the conference planners don't know you plan on going until you have registered online. Please visit the Tri-Sectionals website for full details and for the registration link - www.sa.niu.edu/apo/sectionals but below you will find a few higlights:
