The 2013 Convention/Boule thread: Having one? Going? Did you go? How was it? Share!
 
I did this thread last year and it's that time of year again!

Is your org having a Convention/Boule/Conclave/whatever this year?

Where?

Are you going?

Also, if you went, tell us how it was!

Sigma Phi Epsilon's 53rd annual Conclave is this year in Dallas (aka Grapevine) at the Gaylord Texan Resort.

The theme is "Flip the Switch: SigEp's Future is ON"

I love the logo this year. I plan on going, but I haven't scraped up all of the money I need yet. It's just a wee bit pricey. haha

Ours is in Milwaukee this year. I'm a national officer, so I'll be there.

DreamfulSpirit 03-18-2013 01:15 PM

Omega Phi Alpha's will be in Pittsburgh this year in July!

I'm definitely planning on attending!

Did not know that. Congrats!

ETA: Our National Conventions are triennial, and since we had one last year (that I was unable to attend), we won't have another until 2015.

KillarneyRose 03-18-2013 01:24 PM

San Antonio, TX this July. Not going this year, but I WILL get to a convention one of these days!

OHNOITSJESS 03-18-2013 01:45 PM

Ours is in Dayton, Ohio, July 18-20th. I know AOEforme is going as well.

KSUViolet06 03-18-2013 01:46 PM

Tri Sigma will have Convention & Volunteer Summit June 21-24 at Disneyworld! I have never been so I'm a little excited!

We are triennial as well so it has been a long wait.

Alpha Phi's 70th Biennial Convention will be held June 25-29, 2014, at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage, California.

I will not be going unfortunately.

Ch2tf 03-18-2013 04:08 PM

Theta Nu Xi's is in Boston this year. Aug 9-11. I'll most likely be there since I live there, lol.

Psi U MC Vito 03-19-2013 01:53 PM

Ours are annual and will be in Durham this year hosted by the Chi Delta of Psi Upsilon at Duke. I unfortunately probably won't be able to make it because of how pricey it is.

I'm saving to go. I really wanna FINALLY get to my first convention

AOII Angel 03-26-2013 09:04 AM

AOII will hold convention in Chicago this year. I'm taking my sister, but this time we're just going as guests so we can go sightseeing in Chicago and out to eat at a couple restaurants I want her to try. I am really excited about Candlelighting this year since it will be lead by our newly re-chartered Alpha chapter!

AZ-AlphaXi 03-26-2013 10:04 AM

^^^ I really enjoyed attending AOII's Candlelighting in 2011 and I know that you'all are very excited for the return of your Alpha Chapter.

AZ-AlphaXi 03-26-2013 10:05 AM

Alpha Xi Delta's 50th National Convention will be in San Francisco. I'll be going and am really looking forward to it.

misscherrypie 03-26-2013 01:19 PM

Nevada is part of a Quad States configuration in Beta Sigma Phi, so the four states rotate the convention every year. This year, it's in the Salt Lake City area in June. Our chapter is definitely planning to caravan out there for it.

jazing 03-26-2013 01:26 PM

DaffyKD 06-14-2013 09:51 AM

Kappa Delta's 60th Biennial Convention will be held June 27- July 1 in Boston. I would have liked to have gone since my daughter lives in Boston, but my AC is sending one of our young ones as our representative this year.

KSUViolet06 06-16-2013 01:33 PM

Four days! So excited!

sigmaceli 06-17-2013 02:40 PM

KSUViolet and I get to be roomies, too! Woohoo!

madoug 06-22-2013 07:32 AM

Starting to pack to be in Dallas 6/26-30 at the ADPi convention. I think my last one was in '97.

KSUViolet06 06-23-2013 11:16 PM

I am here in Orlando for Convention & Volunteer Summit til Wed! Will post more substantial update sometime this weekend!

KSUViolet06 06-25-2013 08:02 PM

I am home!

It was a really great time (and this is coming from someone who is not super obsessed with Disney.)

The highlight reel:

*Experiencing initiation with 700 sisters. Never gets old.

*Mad Hatter characters at our Mad Hatter Themed Panhellenic Luncheon.

*MINNIE on stage at keynote wearing purple and pearls.

*Passing awesome new resolutions (which I will not bore you with, but I am a nerd! New policy makes me happy.)

*My chapter winning Housing Corp of the Triennium!

*Being installed as an NO. Love it.

*Getting personalized Mickey Ears in our bags! Every single sister got a pair with her name embroidered. Awesome.

We will be in Chicago in 2016! Can't wait!


jazing 06-26-2013 12:50 AM

AEPi Centennial at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan early August. Cannot wait.
