IMPACT Participants' Free Afternoon



Memorial Headquarters and Executive Office.

We’ve talked about Adelphean Compass attendees’ trip to Macon but IMPACT participants will also have some fun the Saturday of LS with a free afternoon.

Most attendees already know where they’re going to be embarking to on that Saturday. Alpha Delta Pi offered trips to Memorial Headquarters, as well as, to the Georgia Aquarium.

Here at Executive Office, the silver has been polished and all of our ADPi memorabilia prepped for the collegians’ arrival. Sisters meander from room to room seeing the history of ADPi. They can also see the portrait of Elizabeth Williams Mitchell, which was unveiled at last year’s convention.

The Georgia Aquarium
Those with a love of all things marine will be visiting the Georgia Aquarium, which is the world’s largest. Tropical fish, dolphins and jelly fish will delight visitors; maybe you’ll even spot an azure blue and white fish.

For those attendees who elected to not visit the aquarium, there are still tons of fun things to do around the hotel and Atlanta.

The Westin has both an indoor and outdoor pool, which would be a great place to break in your new ADPi beach towel you snagged from Gift Mart. Who wouldn’t love a little poolside nap before the awards dinner?

The Varsity restaurant in Atlanta.
For the more adventurous types there are tons to do in the city. There’s the Coca-Cola museum (Atlanta is the birthplace of Coke), The Varsity (An Atlanta institution for chili dogs and Frosted Oranges), The High Museum of art, shopping and more.

We do have to warn you, Atlanta traffic can be hectic sometimes. Be sure to leave yourselves plenty of extra time to prepare for any traffic jams and so you have time to get ready for the awards dinner. Because frankly, no one likes frantically changing in your hotel room, or even worse, missing the bus!

Are you going to Memorial HQ or the aquarium during your free period? What are you most excited to see in Atlanta? Tell us below in the comments!
