Conclave was hosted at the impressive Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando with full amenities, including an 18 hole golf course. SigEp brothers from every chapter, representing nearly all 50 states, consumed the resort as everyone met brothers from other chapters and participated in great seminars and work sessions sponsored by SigEp HQ.
The Balanced Man Celebration was held Thursday night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Universal Citywalk. Colorado Gamma was not able to bring home the Buchanan Cup hardware in 2009, but walked away excited knowing how close we are to standing on that stage and claiming our second Buchanan Cup in 2011. After dinner, Co Gamma undergraduates and volunteers enjoyed dinner at Jimmy Buffett's Margarataville in Universal Citywalk to wrap up a great day at Conclave.
The Brotherhood Luncheon was a time to honor SigEp brothers who've left us since the last Conclave. We remembered the dedication and honored the memory of our departed brothers. Four awards were also presented at the Brotherhood Luncheon: the Benjamin Hobson Frayser Award for outstanding alumni communications, the Cornerstone Award for making a significant contribution towards a housing project, the Doud-Clayton award for recognition of "Brother Helping Brother", and the Honor of the Philias for uniquely demonstrated Brotherly Love.
