Sorors Meet and Greet Convention 2002 Style
 

Sorors, in FOUR MONTHS the first of you will be arriving in Atlanta for the 46th National Convention of Delta SIgma Theta Sorority Incorporated. To say that I'm excited is an understatement. :D

I've taken a look at the schedule as printed in the Call to Convention. The best time for us to meet is Saturday July 20 from 12pm to 2:30pm. It's on the schedule as lunch on your own. Sorors, I need each of you who is intersted in attending to RSVP so logistics can be worked out. My e-mail address is crimson_cream12@hotmail.com.

I look forward to hearing from you & seeing you soon. :)

Well, I wasn't in Chi-town but I WILL be in HotLanta. I have already registered and everything! When and where?

Soror Kelli,

I sent you an email, but just wanted all to know that I'm so psyched about my 1st convention and the chance to meet all GC Sorors (or any ATL GC SFs).

It's gonna be off the hook! I'm road trippin' with my line sisters and we're ready to paint the town...you know the rest! :)

OOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOP!

Pebbles

i'm still excited!!
 

:D

FYI, I volunteered to help with Registration & greeting Sorors @ the airport so be on the look out for me.

CT4 had a suggestion. Taking into consideration that some Sorors my not be able to meet after the Formal Opening, we could also meet after the Ecumenical Service on Sunday or maybe after the step show Saturday night (@ Waffle House of course http://www.plaudersmilies.de/happy/roflmao.gif)

Stay tuned to this thread for locations & updated times. ;)

Re: i'm still excited!!
 

But, of course, we would have to go to that IHOP first to wait for hours and encounter some of the less than desirable elements of ATL and then go to WAFFLE HOUSE to watch the SUN RISE. :p :eek:

Many of my line sisters and I are also looking forward to our FIRST convention. And since we are BRAND SPANKING NEW in the Sisterhood, we are planning to live it up in Atlanta in July. I'm PERSONALLY looking forward to meeting my new sorors (and fellow GreekChat Sisters...and Brothers) from all over. So just let us know the WHERE and the WHAT TIME... we ALREADY know the HOW. :D :D

Update #1
 

OK Sorors, I believe I have a location determined to have lunch after the opening on Saturday morning. And if y'all think I'm playing about the Waffle House on Saturday night, be hungry after the step show! ;) :p

I'm trying to think of other places to meet for Sunday morning that are close by & easy to get to, even if it's for nothing more than quick hugs & a quick picture.

Thank you to the Sorors who have already responded. For those who asked, there's nothing more you need to do at this point. I'll be making updates either on this thread or via e-mail.

For planning's sake, I'm asking all Sorors who are planning to meet with us for lunch on Saturday to respond here or via e-mail by June 30.

I'll make a note of it!!


PS: Pebbles, bring an EXTRA SUITCASE for all the SHOPPING you NEOS will do!!:) ;)

98 -- I bought so much STUFF, OMG. Wasted some money too but NEO FEVER was the illness and I was the patient.:p

Re: SHO NUFF
 

Soror,
You sound like me back in 96--I'm very tight with a buck but when I was a NEO at my first conference (97) you wouldn't known it. I know I wasted some money but it's a once in a while feeling.
I look forward to Atlanta since it's my first National Conference and I'm looking forward to our Greekchat meeting!

Re: SHO NUFF
 

I can't call it NEO FEVER anymore.....just shopaholism!!;)
.....but I'm running out of room, so I'm not overdoing it this year!

May I attend lunch? Alpha's need love to.

KEEP ME POSTED!
 

Sorors please keep me posted. This will also be my first National Convention and I am toooooooooooooooooooo crunk about it. I am looking forward to seeing all of you. So let a sista know! Peace and Blessings

Re: Update #1
 

I won't be able to make the Sat. lunch or Sunday AM :( But hopefully Virtual Violet will and be able point some of you out to me during the convention. I look forward to seeing you in person.

Kelli, thanks for stepping up and doing this. I'm sure you will be the hostess with the "mostest"!

I'm excited! I'm even more excited that I will be just some hours away and can finally drive to a Convention.

Can't wait to meet everyone. I'm making my list of who's who now so don't laugh when ya'll see me walk in ...I'll be the one with the CLIP BOARD! :D

Hey Sorors!

It's me Renee_DST22, I changed my name, coming new for 2002! I will be there late Friday and Saturday, because of Summer School I will not be able to attend the entire convention, anywho, I am down for waffle house after the Step Show! I am sure I will see ChickenLittle (Iota Pi) there.....Iota's in the house! I will probably stand out at Nationals....Tall, light bright, dam* near White....LOL......

Can't wait to meet all of my Wonderful Sorors!

Girlllll.... you and me both! Well, I am short, light bright...etc!

Can't wait for convention!!

Sorors!

I would love to attend any event you guys are planning, however since I'm Delegate for my chapter, and this is my first convention, chances are I won't be able to do too much. But as soon as the time and place is set, I can always page my Alternate ;) and try to attend.

I was the delegate in 98 in N'awlins.

Don't be late to any plenaries.
You will get great presents though -- that is the best. I still have a lot of my presents.

The plenaries were some of the best I had ever witnessed. Sorors kept me filled with knowledge.

convention meet and greet!
 

I can't wait to put faces with names. Count me in too!:D

I'll Be There
 

MsPriss_#22,

You know I'll be there. I'm already registered, got my plane ticket, and hotel room is PAID IN FULL.

I am sad to say that I am no longer a member of Iota Pi though. I graduated from Florida International University- MAGNA CUM LAUDE- last week on April 30th.

Actually, six sorors in our chapter graduated. So, some of us will be representing Dade County Alumnae from now on. Of course, we'll still love Iota Pi dearly though.

So, hit me on e-mail at jarenae@miami.edu so we can all hook up again. My birthday is Sunday, July 21st. I'll add you to my list of invited attendees for the celebration that night. I'm making plans with family in HotLanta to find out where is the best spot for the party!!!!!

Re: I'll Be There
 

PARTY IN YOUR ROOM!!!! :D

Re: I'll Be There
 

My Birthday is July 24th so do you mind if a soror celebrates with you?

What Would I Do Without My Sorors???????????
 

Soror 12dn94dst,

That is a great idea about the celebration in my room. That way, I would probably end up with a huge circle for Sweetheart song. There would be sorors all down the hall. OK! OK! I'm toooooooooooo hyped. Thanks for that idea. Never thought about that.

Soror Mccoyred,
Of course you can celebrate with me. We can have Sorors sing the sweetheart song to all the Sorors born in July. My reservations are with the Wyndham Atlanta. No room number yet, of course. Where are you gonna be? But, I'll meet everyone at the meet and great. I'll be the little short soror passing out flyers for the July B-day Jam.

I hope the Wyndham won't kick me out. I'll call and ask them about it.

Now yall got me all excited again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Love for August
 

http://www.plaudersmilies.de/cry.gifhttp://www.plaudersmilies.de/cry.gifhttp://www.plaudersmilies.de/cry.gif I was supposed to be born on July 29 but I took my own sweet time.

I was born on August 1 though. Can I get some love too? http://www.plaudersmilies.de/cry.gif

Re: No Love for August
 

HHMMMMM.....I dunno.....Sorors, what do y'all think??
Because I'm saying, if we're gonna celebrate July & August, we may as well celebrate September, with specific emphasis on 9/30 (my 29th). AND if we're gonna celebrate July, August & September (30th), we may as well do October. And if we do...aw heck, let's just get together & celebrate LIFE & DELTA & SISTERHOOD!! That's always a good reason to party! :D

DELTA LOVE
 

I am so thrilled that so many of us are so anxious to meet each other at this year's National. All of this sisterhood makes me know why I chose this sorority. But anywho, I am there for whatever destination we agree upon. I can't wait to meet everyone! Peace and Blessings

Re: What Would I Do Without My Sorors???????????
 

Hey, I'm at the Embassy Suites. I'll be there! Maybe we can coooo-oordinate ;)

To all those who said "I'll be there" or "Count me in"
 

please make sure I have your e-mail address so I can keep y'all posted w/o clogging up the board.

2 months, 1 week & counting...

reminder
 

COUNT ME IN! I can not wait to meet all of my lovely sorors from across the nation. I'll be there with my letters on and BIG OL' smile on my face!

Re: Getting excited
 

Soror we MUST celebrate. My birthday is July 12 also :D !!!!!!!!!!

I'm so disappointed that I can't be there. I know a few have been asking me if I was going, but I can't. I'm in the process of trying to buy a house and obviously every little bit helps.

Have fun for me!

I'll be there with bells on!!!
 

Hello Sorors! Please count me in, b/c I am counting the days until National. So don't leave me out! peace

>In an effort to prevent others from using Delta's name and reputation for personal gain, we are asking that all Sorors unite together and make it a point not to support events that are not connected to the convention. The committee in charge of entertainment for the National Convention has gone to great lengths to make sure our Sorors are treated like royalty when they come to the National Convention. For $20 you can purchase a VIP card that will get you into any of the sponsored events free until 11pm and half priced after 11pm. You don't have to wait in line with the general public because Delta's will have VIP access all night long at sponsored events. Some venues even provide one complimentary drink. We offer discounts with the taxi companies that will make sure you get back and forth to the events safely. We have several events each night depending on your preference. In addition to the regular club scene we will even provide events for Sorors not quite 21 and thir!
>tysomethings. Non-sponsored events will certainly not have these benefits. Best of all portion of the proceeds goes directly back to the sorority, unlike events hosted by non sponsors who use our name and retain 100% of the profits. There have even been some of our very own Sorors who are using the convention as an opportunity for personal gain and will try to throw events that conflict with our events, thus taking revenue from the sorority.
>
>Spread the word....Forward this to everyone you know who is attending the convention. You don't have to be registered to enjoy the night life Atlanta has to offer and it is a wonderful way for the registered delegates to unwind at night after a day of business sessions. We have a signed contract with club promoter Metro Boyz Entertainment. They have rolled out the "RED" carpet for us to make sure we have a great time while convening in Atlanta. Look for their logo on all promotional material you may see. Tell every Delta you know...NO LOGO...DON'T GO.

>If you have any questions or would like more information about the VIP events at the National Convention send an email to collegiate_events@yahoo.com. VIP passes can be purchased at a special booth in the World Congress Center (where convention activites will be held) and will come complete with an entertainment guide listing all of the sponsored events and discounts.
