Chapter Trips, Planned Right
Chapter retreats, alumni reunions, and convention travel organized so officers and alumni volunteers can enjoy the trip instead of running it.
Chapter Officers Have Enough on Their Plate
Social chairs, chapter presidents, and alumni volunteers already balance classes, careers, families, and chapter responsibilities. Planning a trip for 20, 50, or 100 members on top of that means hotel contracts, bus charters, deposits, dietary needs, roommate requests, and a group chat that never stops. One missed deadline can cost the chapter real money.
Greek organizations also travel for many different reasons. Active chapters plan retreats and formals. Alumni plan milestone reunions around homecoming or a 10th, 25th, or 50th anniversary of their initiation class. Members attend regional leadership events and national conventions, and many chapters organize service trips connected to their philanthropy. Each type of trip has its own budget, its own timeline, and its own set of expectations.
MaryElizabeth brings organization to all of it. She works with your officers or reunion committee, secures group rates where available, collects payments individually from members, manages rooming lists, and sends clear pre-trip information. Your leaders can focus on traditions, programming, and reconnecting, while she manages the travel.
How Your Chapter Trip Comes Together
Meet With Your Committee
MaryElizabeth learns the purpose of the trip, the number of members expected, your budget range, and any chapter or national guidelines.
Choose Dates and Destination
Options fit around academic calendars, homecoming weekends, convention dates, and member budgets.
Secure Group Space
Hotel room blocks, meeting space, banquet dinners, and motorcoach charters are requested and contracted for your group.
Register and Collect Payments
Each member registers and pays individually, with payment plans available, so the treasurer is not managing a pile of transfers.
Organize Rooming and Details
Roommate requests, rooming lists, dietary needs, and pre-trip information are gathered and shared before departure.
Travel and Reconnect
Members follow a clear itinerary while MaryElizabeth stays reachable and coordinates with hotels and transportation providers.

Alumni Reunions That Bring Everyone Back
Alumni reunions are some of the most meaningful group trips because members may not have seen each other in decades. A successful reunion needs a convenient location, a range of lodging budgets, a welcome event, a signature dinner, and time to simply catch up. Some alumni groups return to campus for homecoming, while others choose a beach resort, a mountain town, or even a river cruise where everyone shares the same ship and the same schedule.
For active chapters, safety and structure matter. MaryElizabeth plans transportation with licensed charter companies, chooses properties that accommodate student groups, and respects any risk-management guidelines your national organization requires. Clear itineraries and organized rooming lists help officers and advisors keep everyone accounted for.
What Is Included in Your Chapter Trip
Plan 6 to 12 Months Ahead
Homecoming and convention weekends fill hotel rooms quickly, and alumni need time to arrange travel. Starting 6 to 12 months ahead helps secure room blocks, meeting space, and charter buses for your group at the best available rates.
