Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity Headquarters no longer requires proof of vaccination status or a negative test result to attend its international in-person meetings or events. Mask-wearing is optional. Sigma Alpha Mu expects attendees to take personal responsibility for following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on measures to reduce infection from COVID-19 and to protect against severe complications.
For more information, please click here review the guidelines.
Attendees who are not up-to-date on vaccinations are asked to take an at-home COVID-19 rapid antigen test before traveling to a Sigma Alpha Mu meeting or event. Anyone who has recently tested positive or has symptoms of COVID-19 should not attend. We will not require proof of these measures. We ask that everyone act responsibly and with consideration for the health and safety of others.

Undergraduate Delegates:
Should a chapter delegate be unable to attend after registering, their registration will need to be canceled. Please contact Assistant Director of Operations Mario Tobar (Mario@sam.org). The Chapter will need to have another delegate register to ensure two delegates are registered and attend. No changes in undergraduate delegate registration will be considered after July 15, 2023 (unless there is an extenuating circumstance).
Alumni & Guests:
Should an alumnus or guest be unable to attend after registering, their registration will need to be canceled. Please contact Assistant Director of Operations Mario Tobar (Mario@sam.org). The Fraternity will be able to cancel the hotel room up until 72 hours before the event, so those funds would be refunded to you. The Fraternity is unable to offer refunds for registration and food selections after July 20, 2023.
For a chapter, the member must be a collegiate member in good standing from the corresponding chapter. For an alumni association, they must be a member in good standing, be a member of the alumni association, and if it is an area alumni association, and live within that area.
