Frequently Asked Questions

By registering and paying for a Dinner with 12 Sisters, you are committing to spend two to three hours with other Gamma Phi Beta members with the intention to get to know other women who share our True and Constant sisterhood in your area. This is not a long-term commitment – just an evening of fun and sisterhood! 

Your registration fee covers the cost of your meal and any non-alcoholic beverages purchased at the event. If the event is held in a host’s home, they may provide alcohol or ask guests to bring something to share. If hosting at a restaurant, attendees have the option to split the cost of alcohol or pay individually. 

Hosts have chosen options where most meals are priced so that attendee will not have to cover costs of food or non-alcoholic beverages at the event. When ordering, please understand this and try not to order meals over the threshold of what you paid to register. 

Email Director of Alumnae Engagement  Carrie Loveless immediately so that we can invite other members to join from the waitlist. Registration fees are non-refundable.

No, you do not have to pay your international alumnae dues to attend this event, though there is an option on the registration form to do so.

No, Dinner with 12 Sisters is not a fundraising event. The goal of this evening is to bring together sisters from all backgrounds for an evening of socializing, support and sisterhood!

Most dinners are casual or snappy casual (no jeans). Hosts will provide more information to those registered closer to the event date.

Food allergies and dietary restrictions provided on an attendee’s registration form will be accommodated to the best of the host’s abilities. Allergy information will be provided to the vendors, but we cannot guarantee that cross-contamination will not occur, depending on where the food is being prepared. We encourage you to visit the restaurant’s website in your city to determine if their menu has accommodations. 

Dinners hosted in a home may be catered by a restaurant or catering company. Hosts will ensure that there are options for individuals with food allergies or dietary restrictions but cannot guarantee that items will not come into contact with others while being prepared.

 Dinner With 12 Sisters (DW12S) is one way Gamma Phi Beta alumnae members can engage with the Sorority and individual sisters. From Thursday, February 19 to Sunday, February 22, 2026 hosts in over 40 cities throughout North America will gather with other sisters to enjoy good food and better conversation while connecting over their common bond of Gamma Phi Beta.  

As a host, you commit to a day and time from Thursday, February 19 to Sunday, February 22, 2026 to host a meal for 12 people (yourself included). Depending on your space and desires, you can host your event at your home or a restaurant. Hosts are expected to coordinate all aspects of the evening, including reserving a table at a restaurant, cooking or catering, and answering host-specific questions from attendees.  

 Gamma Phi Beta will help to market the event to alumnae in the area, process registration, collect fees and communicate who has reserved a spot at your table!  

Attendees are required to pay a registration fee. The default registration fee for all events is $40 per person. Hosts can request an alternative registration fee (higher or lower) based on event needs. When planning, hosts should identify options that, including any tax, extra gratuity or tip, would be within their pre-determined event cost. Hosts should be prepared to pay for the meal up front. These funds will be given back to the host through reimbursement for the direct costs of the meal.  

In early January, GammaPhiBeta.org will launch online registration. Also, in January, those who live geographically close to the host will receive email communication about these events.  

 Yes! Once you commit to being a host, you will receive access to the registration report, including registered member information after successful payment.
