I went to Kappa Konvention last August and had a blast! It was very special for me because we had our chapter installation. I think the best part of these gatherings is really bonding with the women from the other chapters.

I can't wait for convention this year, even though the event planner for AXO must have had a brain freeze -- we are having national convention in ORLANDO at the Disney Hilton over the July 4th weekend!!! Hello? What kind of sense is this making?? They picked the hottest, most populated place for July 4th to have convention! UGH! I love Disney - I go about once or twice a year, but will not be over there this time. I can't deal with the 4 million people.

/rant... Yes, Alpha Chi will pay for me as CA, and our CP as well to go. I was so excited when I became a CA because I knew that I could travel to conventions -- well, our convention in Denver two years ago, I was pregnant and couldn't go because of the high altitude. I was so disappointed :(

conclave...
 

I am a past Honored Queen for Job's Daughters. as well as a Majority member for Rainbow. I was demolay chapter sweatheart, past chapter princess and past league sweatheart for demolay.......back in my younger younger days!

I always liked going as an adult ( also a past bethel guardian too) because there were always cute demolay adult male advisors too ...i agree on that one!:)

We hold Convention every three years, and I've been to all three since I pledged - 1997 in Denver, 2000 in Dallas, and 2003 in Michigan (our Centennial). It's always a fun experience...even better if you're not going as an official chapter delegate, in my opinion! :D

I've never gone to a national Alpha Phi Omega convention, but I have been to a sectional convention (at Purdue) and a regional convention at IU. :D I had a great time at both of them...it was great to meet brothers from other chapters. (I actually briefly dated a brother from Michigan whom I met at regionals!) The best part was singing the toast song at the banquet at regionals...we had this gigantic circle going through a couple rooms...and to hear everyone joining in...it gave me chills.

In 1993 I attended the Delta Zeta Convention in Indianapolis as a Chapter President.

In 1998, I was invited to attend as an alumnae chairman, but couldn't attend.

In 2002, I attended the Centennial Convention as the Sorority Alumnae Web/Tech Consultant.

This summer, I am attending the Tampa Convention as an Alumnae Director.

Thank goodness it's funded. I wouldn't be going otherwise, with you know, diapers to pay for and stuff! LOL. :)

I second that! I went to the one this summer and it was an AMAZING experience...plus I got to meet RedRoseSAI! :D

I attended Sigma Kappa's last convention in Scottsdale and will be attending this years convention in Cincinnati.

I attended Convention in 1993 in Chicago and then 2001 in Atlanta. It is always an amazing experience, but I'm most looking forward to Chicago in July.. our Centennial convention/celebration!

I hope hope hope to be attending Alpha Phi COnvention in Rancho Mirage ( Palm PSrings) this summer too

I went to SK's Convention in Marco Island, FL, when it was our 125th Anniversary and it was great! It really gave me a sense of what our sorority is all about. We had a blast. My best friend and pledge sister was going to go to Cincy with me this year, but she just had a baby and my husband and I will be moving at about that time, so I don't think either of us will be able to make it.:p

I wish Alpha Phi would have their convention in Orlando .....now that would be the happiest place on earth!:D

Alpha Chi Omega's having Convention 2004 at Walt Disney World! I really really want to go, but am worried that job stuff will get in the way. I never got to go to Convention as an active, and would love to go since it's in my home state this year!

Ours will be there in 2006! My friends from my alumnae chapter plan to bring our husbands and let them golf during the day. :)

For Those Who Have Not Attended Regioals, Conclaves, or Nationals, do if You have the chance!:cool:

LXAAlum and The Chapter He is an Advisor to is Having a Re-Chartering at U. No. Co. I was advited but cannot make it!

Why do I care, because I met some of the Brothers at the Last Regional I was able to attend! Some of the Brothers from UNC remember me!:)

You will meet and greet Members from all over the Region/Area and find out the problems that are different from theirs.

The Members of you Hdq. would also understand when they meet one on one or in a group for discussion.

Do You have Problems, of course, but can they help, YES! Live and Learn!:cool:
