CALL TO CONFERENCE
66th Annual South Carolina District Conference
October 8-10, 2026 | Columbia, South Carolina
Brothers of the South Carolina District — prepare yourselves for an unforgettable experience as we proudly announce the 66th Annual South Carolina District Conference in the beautiful capital city of Columbia, South Carolina!
This year’s conference theme is: HOMECOMING
And trust us… this is a HOMECOMING you absolutely do not want to miss!
For 66 years, the South Carolina District has stood as a beacon of brotherhood, leadership, service, and excellence. This year, we are intentionally returning to the foundation of who we are and what we do. Our focus for 2026 is centered around reclamation, reconnection, and getting back to the basics of Alpha. We are calling our brothers HOME — back to fellowship, back to service, back to purpose, and back to the bond that makes this Brotherhood so powerful.
The Conference Planning Team is working tirelessly to ensure that every brother, family member, guest, and supporter experiences one of the most memorable district conferences in recent history. We heard your feedback from last year, and we are committed to taking this year’s conference to an entirely new level!
The celebration officially kicks off on Thursday night with a Public Welcome Reception, setting the tone for an exciting and energetic weekend filled with fellowship, networking, entertainment, learning, and unforgettable moments.
And let’s be honest… what’s a HOMECOMING without a STEP SHOW and a TAILGATE?
That’s right — by popular demand, the Collegiate Step Show is BACK and bigger than ever!
Following the show, we will turn up the energy with the Bond Phire Experience: Tailgate Edition, where brothers and guests can enjoy music, fellowship, food, and the electric atmosphere that only the South Carolina District can create.
But that’s not all…
We still have several MAJOR announcements that will be announced in the coming weeks, including:
- Featured keynote speakers
- Dynamic workshops and trainings
- Special guests
- Exclusive entertainment announcements
- Step Show with halftime entertainment
- Networking and fellowship experiences
- And much, much more!
