    Convention 2006 - PHILADELPHIA
    2006 Convention Logo

    Dear Zete Brothers,

    We invite you to join us at the Zeta Psi Convention in Philadelphia this summer from August 23rd through August 26th. The Hyatt Hotel at Penn’s Landing has a great view overlooking the Delaware River, and is within walking distance of many of the historic sights in Philadelphia, such as Independence Park, the National Liberty Museum, and the Betsy Ross House. The Independence Seaport Museum is right next door to the hotel, and there is a nearby ferry service to the Camden waterfront where you can visit the Adventure Aquarium and the Battleship New Jersey Memorial.

    Our evening events in Philadelphia should be fun for all Zetes, family members, and guests. On Wednesday, we will take a “Ride the Ducks” tour through the downtown area, into the Delaware River and will end up at the pier at Dave and Busters for dinner. We will enjoy a relaxing evening on Thursday with a dinner cruise on the Spirit of Philadelphia. Friday’s event will be unique and fun! We will spend the evening at the Citizens Bank Park, the home of the Phillies, where we will have a personal tour of the stadium, and dinner at the Hall of Fame Club. There will be a free shuttle bus service running between the hotel and the stadium throughout the evening. Saturday night’s event will feature our traditional Zeta Psi Banquet at the hotel.

    Registration information and forms are now available on our Philadelphia Convention website at www. convention2006.zetapsi.org. Mail, fax, or call in your registration information to the Zeta Psi IHQ (800-477-1847) prior to August 1st to receive the “Early Registration Discount” on the full convention fee.
