Convention Summary

Attendance at this meeting continued to be low, as there was only four chapters in the fraternity at the time of the meeting. The 5th Grand Council Convention was the first multi-day meeting. Important business included authorizing the publication of the Agora. When the convention was extended to two days over the Thanksgiving holidays, a Thanksgiving dinner became a new and important tradition for the Grand Council Conventions.
