2007 DST Regional Conference Cycles
 

Sorors,

This time of year has sorors from all across the country going to their regionals. I created this thread to share your experiences at regionals here!

I will allow others to go first and will post my experience later!

But this is only the fourth regional (no s) coming up. So most of us haven't been yet. Since yours was the first, why don't you start off?

Ok, I will go first! Thanks ladygreek!

My conference (South Atlantic) was in Va. Beach. This was my first regional and my mother's in a long time.

The sessions that I attened were pretty good. Some were very informative and I got to meet a lot of sorors from the Carolinas, VA and Bermuda.

Favorites:
Seeing six national presidents attending the event
The step show and seeing my ls and one of my friends from USC step
Running into Past President Boyd on the elevator
Sorors dancing to Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" at the closing dinner, celebrating SA's 45th Anniversary
The Sisterhood session (more on that later)
And as always...shopping for Delta items!

Didn't like:
The hotel, which was the official one for the conference (reserved our rooms back in Feb. for non smoking and when we get there they said they had no more non smoking:mad: , the hall smelled like smoke!)
Waiting for our lunch at the Sisterhood luncheon (my table was one of the last one served, and the food was bad)
Waiting for dinner at the Hilton (45 minutues just for a Sprite)
Looking for dinner Thursday and Friday nights (because most resturants close at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.)

Hopefully, we will be able to attend our next regional (where it will be, who knows?)!

Just remember this is a public forum. ;)

OK! ;) I'm creating a separate thread for this!

i enjoyed y'all regional in ft. lauderdale as well.

:o

:D

well, you know....

What did you enjoy about it?

:cool:

hmmmm......being in the mere presence of such fine women

:o

Ignore him. LOL! :D

I hate you. :p

I'm not in the Southern region, but during our vacation in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, we went by the Conference center just to mingle for a little bit at the vendors. That good old Delta spirit. :D

*blushing*

i shoulda went. damn job.

**i shoulda gone**

You weren't invited.

:(

Thanks for the heads up soror. I was wondering who or what that was commenting about our conference.

Soror at least you got to go to the trade show. I was workin' and didn't get a chance to go in. I'll make up for it in Philly. Hope you enjoyed your stay in sunny South Florida. :cool:

Can one of myDevaSTating Sorors PM me regarding conferences? I have a quick question that's slightly off topic?
:)

He's a dear friend of mine who loves Deltas. :cool:

It rained everyday we were there but beyond that the weather was beautiful (humid as all getout). My body is back home but my mind is still on South Beach.
:p

Although I was unable to attend, my undergrad chapter got South Atlantic Regional Collegiate Chapter of the Year!! Gotta love those Devistating Divas of that MOnumental Mu Omicron Chapter!!!!!:D

especially after that weekend.

:o

hmmm....

"Look at all these rumors....." :p

I will be attending my 1st Regional Conference in August (8/11 to 8/14)!!! I am so excited about this. I'll let everyone know how is was!!!

Our conference was great. Our RD, Darlene Pollard was re-elected unanimously. There were many informative workshops. And we left Columbus, OH in good shape for the Iotas. :D

I am proud to say that the Minneapolis/St. Paul Alumnae Chapter won Midwest Region Alumnae Chapter of the Year!

Congrads to ladygreek and 2tuff's chapters on winning chapter of the year!:)

Glad you had a good time at conference, ladygreek!

Well, I must say that I had a wonderful time at my first Regional Conference. I was the delegate for my chapter so I was very busy but I truly enjoyed the experience. Also it was really nice to meet other Sorors especially the more seasoned Sorors that were also from Epsilon chapter.

Highlights:

*Meeting Soror Fudge and Soror Rice
*Attending Opening Ceremony (which had me in tears)
*Hearing Past National Presidents speak
*Workshops
*Hostess Reception
*Performing in the opening partwalk at the Step Show
*Shopping at the Vendors
*Club Delta

I can't wait to go to Philly next year!!

And Congrats to your chapter Ladygreek!

Re: Mighty Midwest
 

Proverbs, did I meet you?

Suntzu, I thought about you and how close we came to meeting.
:(

I don't think I met you Soror, It didn't even click in my head until now that you are a part of that chapter. I was there when they announced that your chapter won and when you all started cheering.

Wonderful....my little sister pledged Mu Omicron.

Re: Mighty Midwest
 

Congratulations, Soror !

Re: Re: Mighty Midwest
 

LOL! :p

Would you believe, I had stepped outside in the hallway to warm up and I missed the announcement. My daughter came out and said I think your chapter just won something. What makes it so bad is that I wrote the submission materials.

Maybe you saw me at the Opening or Closing on the dais? I was the past regional director with locs.

:p

Re: Mighty Midwest
 

My girl Gina (on GC as Taylaur2000) and her mom were there, since they are from the Midwest. Did you see my other homie, the president of the Joilette Chapter...also I know my chapter president was there. I'm telling you when the convention is here next year...for real if I don't get a chance to meet you...well let's just leave it at at that...he he he

Re: Re: Re: Re: Mighty Midwest
 

Dang, I missed Gina and her Mom. But Tracy was elected Member of the National Nominating Committee!!! :D

Re: Mighty Midwest
 

I am equally proud of the Glen Ellyn Area Alumnae Chapter for winning 3rd place in the Midwest Regional chapter website awards and 2nd place recognition for the Midwest SEE Award.

Kudos to my chapter sorors...and all the dynamic sorors of the "MIGHTEE" MIDWEST REGION:D

Re: Re: Mighty Midwest
 

YAY, Glen Ellyn!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Mighty Midwest
 

Yup, you missed them ......and yeah Gina called and told me about Tracy....:)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Mighty Midwest
 

Oh yeah, your chapter president was there repping Glen Ellyn, but the candidate she was supporting for S&S lost.

Did Somebody Say Epsilon??!?!

(dang, I haven't been on GC in a LONG time!)

:) :D :D :D :D :D

Yes, I, too enjoyed regional conference. Had the awesome opportunity to be an assisting Soror to PNP Mona Humphries Bailey. She is the epitome of class and grace. (I also went shoe shopping w/ her..but that's another story)
Check your PM. ;) :D

I'm seeing a ghost. :eek:

*HUGZ* HIIIII SOROR (songbird) ;) ! I know, right. I've been MIA on GC and the SGMG Message board. ;)
