Post-pandemic, many hotel properties decided to undergo extensive renovations, regardless of predetermined events and contracts. The original convention hotel at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa informed Delta Chi of their renovation plans in early December 2023. This meant they were no longer able to host Delta Chi for the 63rd International Convention. As a result, after several weeks of research, the Marriott family offered to enhance Delta Chi’s experience with a luxury property—the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry.
The JW Marriott Miami Turnberry is renowned for its luxurious amenities, impeccable service, and an overall elevated guest experience. The prospect of staying at a property of such high quality without a complete disruption to the 63rd International Convention was an enticing opportunity that will benefit the entire Fraternity. Not to mention, attendees will have premier access to the awesome Tidal Cove Water Park and can swing into action at one of the two 18-hole championship courses!
Additionally, the proximity between the original Fort Lauderdale hotel and the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry made the transition seamless. Despite the location change, the convenience of being near our initial destination allows Delta Chis to maintain travel plans. This smooth transition, coupled with the assurance of a superior quality stay at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry, promises an outstanding International Convention from July 31 to August 4, 2024. We can’t wait to see you there!
Attendees are expected to book their hotel stays separate from their convention registration. Based on availability, quoted guest room rates will be offered to attendees three days before and three days after the contracted event dates.
Check-in is 4:00 PM, and check-out is 11:00 AM.
All guests arriving before 4:00 PM will be accommodated as rooms become available. Hotel bell staff can arrange to check baggage for guests arriving early and on departure day for those attending afternoon functions.
Reservations for Delta Chi’s 63rd international Convention will be made by individual call-in/hotel weblink available on March 5, 2024.

CONVENTION BUSINESS
For the 2024 Convention in Miami, undergraduate chapters will have two pre-paid delegates if those chapters paid their Convention Assessment from January 2023 and January 2024.
Each undergraduate chapter will receive one pre-paid delegate registration for each Convention Assessment payment made since the previous Convention. This refers to the Convention Assessment billed by International Headquarters each January. For the 2024 Miami Convention, the two relevant Convention Assessments are from the 2022-23 fiscal year, billed in January 2023, and the 2023-24 fiscal year, billed in January 2024.
Each provisional chapter will receive one paid delegate registration, regardless of the convention assessments billed to and paid by the provisional chapter.
Chapters that are up-to-date with their Convention Assessment payments will have pre-paid delegate registrations and will receive a discount code for registration once delegates are declared through this form. Delegates should be declared by the Chapter “A” or “C” and must be declared by June 1, 2024.
Once pre-paid delegates have been declared, they MUST receive an approval email with their registration discount code from Kristen Kardas, Director of Education, before registering to receive the full registration discount.
If your chapter has not yet paid its 2023 or 2024 Convention Assessment, you will not have a pre-paid delegate. Chapters may remit payment for prepaid delegates until July 5th. If you have questions about your chapter’s payment status, please contact Jessica Robinson, Membership & Accounting Manager at jrobinson@deltachi.org.
In accordance with Delta Chi By-Laws, Article II, Section 2:
Delegates for undergraduate and alumni chapters must be chosen no later than 60 days before Convention.
The Executive Committee will determine whether a delegate / delegation is accredited.
After selecting delegates, chapters will give credentials of their delegates to Headquarters in a manner and format selected by the Executive Committee, no later than 60 days before Convention. This is to allow the Executive Committee time to examine the credentials of delegates.
Revised credentials can be filed with the Executive Committee any time before Convention.
Ideally, delegations from each undergraduate chapter will comprise three people: two active student members likely to return to the chapter the following year, and one alumnus, who is either that chapter’s “BB” or an alumnus of that chapter. At least one delegate from each undergraduate chapter must be an initiated member. As well, no one individual can serve as a delegate for more than one chapter. (See Delta Chi By-Laws – Article II, Section 1.)
Attendees are expected to book their hotel stays separate from their convention registration. Based on availability, quoted guest room rates will be offered to attendees three days before and three days after the contracted event dates.
Check-in is 4:00 PM, and check-out is 11:00 AM.
All guests arriving before 4:00 PM will be accommodated as rooms become available. Hotel bell staff can arrange to check baggage for guests arriving early and on departure day for those attending afternoon functions.
Reservations for Delta Chi’s 63rd international Convention will be made by individual call-in/hotel weblink available on March 5, 2024.

The membership number is defined as the number of initiated and dues-paying members, including those initiates who are not yet required to pay dues.

- A provisional Chapter with 30 members to 49 members will receive 2 votes;
- A provisional Chapter with 50 or more members will receive 3 votes (avg. of 30 members * 2 = 60 members – 10 members)
