FAQs

What is MuCon?

MuCon is Mu Sigma Upsilon’s Annual National Convention. The First Annual National Convention was held August 6-8, 2004 at the Richard Stockton State College of NJ in Pomona, NJ. Now held every June, MuCon brings sisters across the country together to discuss sorority business, attend sisterhood and leadership workshops, network with sisters from all different backgrounds, and, most importantly, to promote sisterhood and strengthen our bonds.

What does a sister ticket include?

Sister tickets include branded giveaways, food and events, workshop materials, group discounts, plus a weekend full of memories and connections to last a lifetime. All for the same price as MuCon 2022… and this time in sunny Florida, just 10 minutes from Walt Disney World!

What does a Family/Friend Ticket include?

Family and Friend tickets are per person and include food, activities and other give-aways and group discounts! Family and Friends are welcome to attend all non-sister-only events, including the welcome reception, STAR Formal, Sunday brunch, and more! Please note: the STAR Formal is open to ages 16 and up. Childcare will be available at the hotel for younger attendees.

What is the Annual National Meeting?

The National Meeting is held annually during the National Convention. Every governing body (chapter, district, and aretias) must send one delegate. The delegate must go to the meeting prepared with their representative vote for NGC officer elections, annual budget, and any proposals. Each delegate also provides a report and announcements for the chapter, district, or other council they represent. Delegates must register and pay for convention and must be an active (financial) sister. The National Meeting is also open to all sisters who wish to attend.

What are the S.T.A.R. Awards?

The S.T.A.R. Awards recognize chapters and sisters for all of their hard work throughout the year. Through sister nominations and voting as well as S.T.A.R report submissions, the S.T.A.R. awards celebrate chapter, district, and individual sisters who exemplify our goals of academic excellence, unity amongst all women, and being active in the university and community.

Is there a dress-code for the S.T.A.R. Formal?

Semi-formal attire. Dress to impress and have some fun!

Do I have to attend everything?

Chapter and District Representatives must be present at both National Meeting AND all sister workshops

Is there a payment plan or financing available?

Eventbrite offers multiple payment options including a Paypal Monthly plan and the Paypal Pay in 4 plan. Both subject to approval.
