Regional Conventions: What You’re Probably Forgetting to Bring

One of my favorite parts of BBYO are regional conventions, here’s some things you’re likely forgetting to pack for the BEST weekend of your life!

Sandy Springs, Georgia, United States

The Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA) and the B’nai B’rith Girls (BBG) are a fraternity and sorority for Jewish teens—together, we are BBYO. Since our founding in 1924 (AZA) and 1944 (BBG), we have been member-led. Our priorities and programs reflect the interests and issues that matter most to us. Our pursuits are as diverse as our participants.

AZA and BBG welcome Jewish teens of all backgrounds, denominations, gender, race, sexual orientations, and socio-economic status as well as those with a range of intellectual, emotional, and physical abilities.
