Convocation

Pack your bags for the 2020 Convocation in New Orleans!

The 55th Biennial Convocation will take place at the New Orleans Marriott, located at 555 Canal Street in New Orleans. Join your fellow brothers July 29 through August 2, 2020 for a week full of networking, fun events, and good times. This is a celebration of Sigma Pi you won’t want to miss. Registration opens March 16th, 2020 and Convocation is open to any and all who wish to attend! While each chapter is required to send a delegate to the business sessions, we encourage multiple brothers from each chapter to attend and learn more about our Fraternity's successes during the current biennium.

New Orleans is a city of celebration, and gives the Fraternity a great location for the event. Nestled on famed Canal Street, between the French Quarter and the Warehouse District, we’ll be a short walk from notable attractions such as Jackson Square, Bourbon Street, and Cafe Du Monde. For more information, please visit sigmapi.org/convocation.

Cafe du Monde Since 1862, the Original French Market coffee stand has been serving up the original beignet, Louisiana’s state donut, and cafe au laits. Just off Jackson Square, you can enjoy these treats 24 hours a day.

Jackson Square One of New Orleans’ most recognizable landmarks, Jackson Square is a National Historic Landmark nestled in the center of the French Quarter. The space hosts a number of events and celebrations. The landmark earns its name for the bronze statue of Andrew Jackson located in the center of the square.

French Quarter Often called the Crown Jewel of New Orleans, the French Quarter is one of NOLA’s most historic neighborhoods. You’ll find plenty of new mixed in with the old. There’s a reimagined French Market and modern boutiques mixed with beloved antique stores and old restaurants.
