How to Lower the Cost of Conclave
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Here are 4 ways to save:
Conclave Savings Plan
54 Chapters have taken advantage of the Conclave Savings Plan. Has Yours? Chapters have up to a $1,000 Conclave Plan that makes sure every chapter sends representation to this year's Conclave in Washington D.C.
According to the Black Book, the Bylaws of the Fraternity, each chapter is required to attend Conclave. This bylaw (seen below) was proposed and voted on by the Grand Chapter in an effort to help chapters save enough money to send their delegation. Prior to this bylaw chapters struggled finding money in their budgets to send a delegation to Conclave.
| Chapter 1, Sec. 3 |
| Attendance and Registration. Each chapter of the Fraternity is required to be in attendance at each Conclave, being represented by an accredited delegate. The payment of the registration and other fees for the attendance of Conclave shall be the responsibility of each chapter. Payment of the registration and other fees shall be made in four equal installments in accordance with a schedule established by the Chief Executive Officer. Failure of the delegate to be in attendance at the Conclave shall not relieve the chapter of the responsibility for the payment of the registration and other fees for the Conclave. The registration and other fees shall be established by the Chief Executive Officer in amounts necessary to cover the cost of conducting the Fraternity's Biennial Conclave. |
Special Projects Fund
Another alternative is your Special Projects Fund. Special Projects Accounts are for Undergraduate use only. These funds were donated with the intention of educational programs such as Conclave. You can access your chapter's balance on the TKE MODULE by clicking on ‘dashboard'. The Module shows how many men from your chapter have registered, and the balance of your Conclave and Special Projects Accounts (Example shown below).
