Photos from the 96th General Convention

by | Jul 20, 2021 | Uncategorized

Brothers Edward Hill, Tracy Mims, Charles Hardy, and Willie Gant attended the Fraternity’s 96th General Convention in Indianapolis, IN. It was held on July 13th-18th and was nothing short of amazing! This year’s convention was a historic one because it was the Fraternity’s hybrid event due to COVID-19. Only chapter delegates were permitted to attend in-person while non-delegates were able to tune in virtually. Epsilon Xi Lambda was well represented!
