College Weekend is a premier Fraternity leadership experience designed to educate chapter leaders and Alumnae Advisory Committee (AAC) members on best practices in their area of focus. Through a variety of tracks, or “Colleges,” the Fraternity provides chapter leaders and advisors with the tools, knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their officer position while learning, growing and connecting with fellow leaders from chapters across North America.

Registration for College Weekend closes December 4, 2023.
College Weekend attendees are charged an attendee fee of $375 to help cover a portion of event costs. The attendee fee provides access to Friday and Saturday hotel accommodations, all meals (Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast) and all program materials. Attendees are responsible for their own travel to and from the event, including ground transportation.
All requests for attendee fee refunds must be made in writing to events@pibetaphi.org prior to 5 p.m. CST on December 18, 2023. Any request for registration substitution must be made in writing to events@pibetaphi.org prior to 5 p.m. CST on January 10, 2024. All substitutions must be for the same College Weekend track as the member originally registered.
Once you reach the payment screen, please select the option “Bill My Chapter” if your fees are to be billed to the chapter. Once selected, type in the name of the chapter, i.e., “Alaska Alpha,” where it asks for the PO number to ensure the fees are automatically deducted from the chapter you are representing. Chapters will be notified of any College Weekend related charges to be deducted in a separate email, following their monthly statement on the first of the month.
Attendees are expected to be good stewards of chapter funds. Unless a valid excuse is submitted to the Collegiate Regional Director seven days prior to the event, in-person attendees are responsible for reimbursing their chapter the full registration fee in the instance of an absence from any portion of the event. In the instance of an unexcused absence from the full event, the attendee will be expected to reimburse their chapter the cost of their flight, if applicable, however, any credit issued by the airline will be retained by the registrant.
All attendees should plan to arrive no later than 4 p.m. CST on Friday. Sunday departing flights should be scheduled no earlier than 2 p.m. CST. If your travel schedule falls outside of the recommended time frames, it must be approved by your AAC and Collegiate Regional Director.
For your convenience, if you plan to arrive early or depart late and require hotel accommodations for Thursday or Sunday nights, you may indicate such when registering by selecting the ‘Early Arrival’ or ‘Late Departure’ hotel accommodation program options. An additional charge of $170 will be incurred per room per night.
Attendees are responsible for arranging their own ground transportation. There are several options available:
The Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch offers driving directions, parking and transportation options on their website. Parking is available at the hotel ($36/night self-parking; $48/night valet).
Be safe and smart with traveling. When using public transportation, always try to travel with a friend.
Hotel accommodations will be arranged for all registered attendees. When registering, you may select to share a room or choose to upgrade to a single (private) room. Single room upgrades are $170 for Friday and Saturday night accommodations. If selecting a shared room, you will be given an opportunity to request to be paired with a sister from your own chapter or be assigned a sister from a different chapter. Headquarters staff will do their best to accommodate your request, however, we are unable to guarantee a specific roommate request. Alumnae members will be assigned alumnae roommates; collegiate members will be assigned collegiate members.
Meals are provided Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast.
Confirmation materials for College Weekend will be sent the week of January 8, 2024, to your email address on file with the Fraternity.
