History
Early History
Scholarship and Service In Philadelphia, SSIP, was the former name of the East Region Conference. There were three SSIP conferences from 2003-2005. The conference name intentionally did not reference the word social to highlight the two other legs of the tripod, Scholarship and Leadership (service). The conferences were held in Philadelphia due to all the chapters but Alpha Iota at the time being in or near the city. With the reactivation of Alpha Theta and two East Region chapters in northern New Jersey the conferences started moving beyond the city.
Events
In recent history, the East Region Conference tried to reflect the Tripod as much as possible through scholarship, leadership (through service), and fellowship programming. A welcome addition to the 2008 East Region Conference was the establishment of discussion roundtables, which served as an opportunity for Brothers to discuss issues and problems in broad topic areas such as scholarship, recruitment, and initiation, so that Chapters can return that information back to their respective Chapters.
