Rideshare options are readily available in the area and provide convenience, reduced wait times, and flexibility based on your personal schedule.
Encouraging rideshare allows guests to travel at their own pace while helping us maintain streamlined event logistics.
We also recommend coordinating with friends or chapter members to share rides when possible — it’s a great way to connect and travel together.
We look forward to an amazing and well-organized reunion weekend!
