What to Pack/Dress Code
Houston will be warm (90s and humid), so plan for comfortable, lightweight clothing throughout the convention weekend.

For Friday's casual activities including stroll practice, pack comfortable outfits and shoes, including your favorite Greek Letter apparel. Jeans and shorts are permitted. If you plan to attend Cidercaid, are 21 and over and plan to drink, please do not wear letters.

For Saturday’s National House of Deelgates meeting, business attire is required. Please note that jeans are not permitted.  Dockers, khakis, blouses, skirts, sweaters, and dress pants are all appropriate. A suit, jacket or tie is not required, but attire should be polished and professional.  Sometimes the air conditioning inside is too cold, you may wish to bring a lightweight sweater or your A-Psi jacket. 

Saturday has an optional A-Psi night out at a club (18 & Over). If you plan to attend, bring appropriate club attire.

Sunday’s picnic will be outdoors, and it is expected to be hot, so pack cool and casual clothing such as T-shirts, shorts, sundresses, and other lightweight outfits suitable for warm weather.

Don’t forget essentials like sunblock, sunglasses, and a refillable water bottle to stay comfortable in the Houston heat!
