FAQ: 180th Convention

  • When and where is the 180th Annual Convention taking place?
    • Convention will take place in Raleigh, NC, at North Carolina State University from July 21-25. Alpha Pi Delta is not formally hosting, but will be helping out and celebrating its 20th anniversary!

    • Yes! Originally, we'd planned to be in Eugene, OR, at the University of Oregon to celebrate Alphas Eta Delta (Oregon) and Theta Delta (Washington) for their Centennial anniversaries. However, COVID-19 restrictions are understandably strict in the Pacific Northwest, so we pivoted to Raleigh.
