When is this conference?

PERSIST starts mid-morning on Thursday, February 1, 2024. You’ll be done at PERSIST with enough time to unite with your university delegation, grab dinner, and be at the AFLV Opening Keynote!

Who’s invited?

This conference is built for collegiate women leaders. If you identify with those three words, then this is for you.

What if I identify as non-binary or as a trans woman? Am I invited?

Hell yes, you are! If you connect to or identify with womanhood, you are more than welcome.

Is this for panhellenic sorority members only?

Hell no it’s not! Tina is a Panhellenic woman, but our speakers and sponsors come from across all kinds of sorority councils, even without sorority membership. Sorority members of all kinds are invited! Shoot, you don’t even need to be a member of a sorority to come.

How much does it cost?

$89!

What do I get for my money?

Outside of a badass experience, you’ll also get some good meals, some sexy swag, access to some badass speakers, and a new community of women to be a part of. Pretty great deal, if you ask us ;)

Will there be scholarships for PERSIST?

You bet! Stay tuned—we’ll announce those in just a few weeks.

Where will the conference be?

We’ll be at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis.

If I am missing classes, what do I say?

We will have an example of a letter you could share with your professor about your time away. Coming soon!

Can I bring a friend?

You bet–the more the merrier! Just have them register at the link below.

Can my whole council come? 

Yes! We’ve got some group pricing so you can bring all the people you’d like and save a little bit of money! If you have 8+ attending, shoot us an email for a discount code.

Are meals included?

We will offer lunch on Thursday as well as two rounds of delicious and substantial snacks.

What should I wear?

You should be COMFORTABLE. And bring a sweater or sweatshirt–it can get chilly in those rooms!

Can I go to PERSIST if I’m not going to AFLV?

Yes! We love AFLV and think you should attend the whole conference. But if time or dollars allow you to only come to PERSIST, please come!

I went to PERSIST in 2023, should I go again?

100%! 2023 was a LONG time ago. And, you’ll hear some new content and meet a whole new group of badasses.

I’ve seen Tina speak before—should I still come?

Yes! You will hear Tina speak again at this event, but you’ll also hear from a whole group of badass speakers that you need in your life!

This is dope, how do I bring this to my campus?
