It's my understanding that the fraternity had 500 rooms at the $75 rate
every night of the convention. There are less of these rooms
available near the end of the convention because more Brothers come down
just for the end of the convention, specifically the awards
banquet. The was a second, smaller block of rooms available
at the slightly higher rate of $95. There was a significantly
smaller number than 500 of rooms available at the $75 rate for the three
days before and after the convention which includes New Year's
Eve. I understand that the $169 rate is their regular room
rate which is being offered to the those who had one of the convention
rate rooms on New Year's Eve instead of their regular rate for that night
which is $300 plus. Finally I also understand that once convention
registration is complete, the list of those registered for convention
will be checked against those with hotel rooms. If you are not
registered for convention, you will be charged the regular room rate
instead of the convention rate when you check out.<br>
<br>
Keep in mind that though there always seem to be kinks with the hotel
going into a convention, in the end everything works out. <br>
<br>
If hotel issues are really critical to you, discuss it with the voting
delegates from your chapter so they can consider those issues when the
next convention site is on the floor. If it really matters to you,
it's not to late to lobby your RD to recommend you to be appointed to the
Time and Place committee, the committee which reviews the bids for the
next convention site.<br>
<br>
I am not connected with the convention committee in any way. I'm
just sharing what I know as there seem to be many questions on the
issue.<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>

You get some extras at that level so they cost a little more. <br>

<dd>I did the reservations for my chapter awhile back and at that time
they
<dd>only had one room available at the $75 rate with double beds. The
other
<dd>rooms we got were at a $95 rate for the length of convention. I
beleive
<dd>this is the convention rate for a different type room.<br>
