Ugh. I just realized that I only packed three pin attire outfits and we need four...

I still need white shoes
Mine are 6 1/2 years old and cruddy looking

Go to Macy's. They have a few acceptable pairs...at least in the stores near me.

My plane leaves in less than 4 hours! I'm packed, used only 1 suitcase and have extra room for souvenirs. Yeah!

Look out New Mexico, the Red Coats are coming! (I forgot to put that in the nickname thread. People on campus called us the Red Coats for obvious reasons.)

We have to leave my house in less than 2 hours....I have been up since 4:30
I'm going to be useless tonight!
lol



See ya there!!!

And they're off.....
 

I am so jealous! I wish I had the money to go!!! I hope you all are safe and have a wonderful time!! Please email me the details when you come back. I'd love to hear all about it!!!
Alpha love,
Jamie

Convention was a fabulous time!

One highlight was the announcement of a new mascot-Dot the ladybug-who made her first official appearance at the convention photo.

We had some panhellenic representation as well.
Our Parliamentarian was Chris Dicky, Alpha Delta Pi.
Our Welcome and Keynote speaker was Dr. Lori Ebert, Alpha Omicron Pi. She also did a workshop.
The speaker at our Women in Leadership Luncheon was Kathy Williams, Phi Mu.

I was very excited to meet so many sisters, as well as see old friends. The convention committee, headquarters staff, Foundation Trustees and National Council did an excellent job organizing the event.

I'm back and exhausted but convention was so much fun! Is anyone planning on going to the Headquarters opening in September? I made a reservation for a room with two beds in it, so if you want to go and share the room, email or facebook me and let me know. It'll cost $150 for two nights after tax.

I can't go...Sept. 13 is our Bid Day
:-(

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!! It's been a while since I've been on here. Convention was awesome!!!!!!!! I enjoyed meeting and seeing everyone! I won't be able to make it to the Headquarters dedication. I'll be working and had to ask off for Convention, then I have to be off in Aug. for a family function then District Days in Nov. so I need to work. I'll be in Indy in 2010 though!!!!!!! Best wishes with upcoming recruitment events!

That was my next question - I was kind of assuming we would be in Indy but wasn't sure.

I am so glad you guys had fun!!
