Hey Jamie,
I could email you with this info, but I am already on the site. Two of my really close sisters are going to LTS (one's my little)...you could probably hook-up with them, if you want. Anyway, I know that it's a lot of fun for everyone who attends. You learn a lot, and come home with tons of ideas. I think that's where we got our idea of the crab raffle. Anyway, I will talk to you soon. Enjoy your summer!

LITP,

Hey Angel, you are such a lucky girl! You'll love LTS...but they really mean it when they say bring a sweater...the hotel is freezing. I've been fortunate enought to go to the last 2 conclaves, and LTS is way more fun than convention. While there look for your Canadian sisters...we love meeting new sisters.

have fun http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Hey Ali and the rest of the LTS gals! I can't wait until Thrusday. I looked up the hotle online and it is sooo nice! Bring your bathing suit, they have a spa and an indoor pool! I am bringing my scrapbook and pictures of all my sisters from my chapter to show everyone else who we are and what we have done...and maybe brag a little...hehe.....my chapter is awesome, what can i say?? See ya in Jersey!!!

LTS was so much fun! I got to go to Starbucks... lol... but also... we got to learn ALOT! My division (15 and our good friends in Div. 16) had a PJ party with our DCP's (Thea (Alum from my chapter) and Janet) and ...... JOSETTE GEORGE!!!!!!! It was so cool... hehe (for non Phi Sigs, Josette is our Grand Archon, aka National Pres.)

I know that LTS is in August but I wasn't sure of the exact date or location? I checked the last Sphinx I got but it wasn't in there either. Anyone know?:confused:

Pictures for LTS 2001

Here are some pictures our alumnae chapter posted regarding LTS.

I went to LTS this summer and had a blast!!!!!

Good Times
 

I have been to both LTS and Convention....they are both a wonderful experience and also alot of fun. There are so many sisters and you can just feel how everyone is there to better their chapter. I must admit there are alot of talks ect- and some get boring especially if you are an older member and it is all review....but over all it if fab!!! You will have a blast. Bring $ to buy cool Phi Sig stuff and film!

LTS
 

Hey, I am going too but we don't have any info on it. Could someone give me some background... such as dates, costs, etc. Thanks!!

hey guys...
 

Re: hey guys...
 

I don't think LITP and PSLAM are Phi Sig Secrets. Our DCP signed things LITP and LIOB almost as soon as we colonized. And when we were getting things from the expansion team they also had that signature on it.

PSLAM is NOT secret, but I know that LITP needs to be kept Phi Sig, from as much as I know about my chapter and others...

PSALM??
 

I haven't heard this one either??? I will ask ladies from my chapter. I advise that anyone else inquiring to do the same. I don't want any of my sisters to feel left out!!!! Hope you find the answer!!

ok, this is LTS year. . .
i want to go. . .
anybody have any past experiences????

It's a lot of fun!!!
 

HI All,

I went to LTS in 2001 as a delegate and Convention in 2002 as just a collegiate paying her own way. Both are a lot of fun although Convention is more formal since that is where they vote on Supreme Council and any constitutional changes.

LTS will be back in New Brunswick, NJ a short train ride from NY so if you can afford it pay for a room a day or two ahead of time and spend time taking the train to NY. All the West Coast and Canadian Chapters arrive on Wednesday so while everyone was checking on in Thursday we got up at 4:30 a.m. to catch the train to NY. Spent about 5 hours there and then took the train back in time for opening session.

It's great getting to meet a ton of sisters and all having a common bond of Phi Sig. Being a newly installed chapter at the time I learned a lot about traditions that long established chapters had. There were definitely lots of talks as someone said, some on new things others just refreshers. We did a walk for the NKF along the river near the hotel. Did a philanthropic/recruitment activity. Had a Foundation Dinner and Raffle and the next night the Awards Banquet. There was also an installation ceremony for an Alumnae chapter that was cool to see. One thing that I really enjoyed and wished I had brought a tape recorder for was a Song Fest led by the Chapter Consultants. they didn't do that at Convention this year and I'm hoping they will do it at LTS again.

Besides meeting all the various sisters, national personnel,etc one of the best nights was at the Raffle for Foundation during the Foundation Dinner. Nash (a national volunteer) was the MC, she would call out the number of the winning ticket and was absolutely hilarious. At one point a gentleman won like 3 or 4 times in a row so she auctioned off his seat. When National Personnel won they would often challenge regions, sisters, alums, divisions, etc to bid on the ticket. I remember our DCP, Joanne Barrick, challenged the sisters of Division 30 to buy her winning ticket. As the auction went on she said she would match the winning bid - you should have seen her face as it reached $100. The thing is most of the items weren't worth that much but you knew it was going to the Foundation so you didn't feel bad about it. I won a couple of bids and because of the dollar amount was able to join the Rosebud Society that night. And actually ended up moving up to the Red Rose giving level. (Like someone said bring lots of money).

Usually Burr, patterson, Auld are at the events as well as the Phi Sig Shoppe so again bring lots of money.

Just be prepared to have fun, learn lots of new things, meet some fabulous new sisters, and absolutely exhausted from spending all night with all the sisters talking :) I'm hoping to go back to LTS this year if I can afford it. For non-delegates it's about $500 plus airfare and if you arrive early then the cost of the extra nights hotel room (call CO and see if you can split the cost with other sisters from your chapter that are going).

Hopefully we can all meet up at LTS,
Carolyn

Hey,
I'm waiting for info too! I went to LTS in 1999 and convention in 2000! I was delegate for both. Now as alum I'm dying to go back, make more connections, etc....I don't really have the money but that's what credit cards are for :p

Lts is great. It is pretty much what is says - Leadership training School! so lots activities on leadership, etc. I learned a lot and had loads of fun. I'm pretty shy though, so it's tough for me to make friends in just a weekend...I kept in better contact with the girls i roomed with at convention.

It is just a wonderful time overall. I'm gonna feel weird going as alum since no alum from chapter go except the advisor...oh well, i'm still young at heart!

LTS 2003 Dates
 

Hi There,

I contacted CO and here is the information about when and where LTS will be this year. It will be July 31 to August 3 at the Hyatt in New Brunswick, NJ.

CO didn't have what the fees will be for non-delegates to attend so I'm hoping that they are around the same price as Convention last year which was $550 plus airfare. I hope I can go, work has already agreed to give me the time off.

Carolyn

p.s. we just pinned 1 new member tonight from our COB activities during winter break. Its only our first week of Spring Semester so wish us well on our COB for the rest of the Semester

Thanks for the info! and congrats on pinning! My girls haven't pinned yet, i think they're still having cob events...often many PNMs just decide to wait til the fall, so we'll see..

Anyway, i plan on going to LTS...I won't have a job by that time(well prolly not) so I should have all the time in the world....money is just the issue...

Jen

Someone said that it would be cheaper to go on your own and just meet the rest of everyone there. I think I might do that.

New Brunswick? How far is that from NYC? Is that where Montclair U is?

Just an FYI...

New Brunswick is about 1/2 and hour- 45 minutes from NYC. That's not where Montclair is (that's up a bit further), but it is the home of Rutgers University.

I'm planning on going this year, so hope to see some of you there!

I am planning on going too!! I hope I do. We should all have a GC meeting spot and meet up to take a group picture! Last year only one rep from my chapter went, but this year I think we can send two again. I am sure we will plan more later. Hey Sf ladies, if you are going we should all fly together! that would be cool if all the cali phi sigs could fly in together, but I doubt that will work! (you never know). But don't worry I will keep you all posted if I am still going as it gets closer!

See you in July!

HEY!!!!

I am attending LTS this summer as Archon of the Delta Alpha Chapter at Eastern Michigan University. I am really excited to be going. I can't wait to meet Phi Sig's from all over the country. This is a really awesome oportunity for all of us. If any of you are flying out of Detroit let me know so maybe we could talk before the flight or something. Feel free to e-mail me or PM me! I think it would be cool too if we had a place for all the Greekchat users to meet!

I'll *probably* be flying from Detroit. Iknow another friend of mine is...

I was hoping just to take the bus or train there...but they don't go to New Brunswick, so i f I have to go to Newark anyway, might as well just save myself the hassle and take the plane...I haven't booked anything yet tho...

Gee, I remember DA...Shanon (right?) she was archon like 3 years ago? she was a sweetheart....

BTW it is pretty customary to wear letters in the airport...usually you can see a good dozen or so phi sigs hanging out....

I'm flying out of Sacramento. I'm gonna wear letters for sure, because I am flying alone as of right now :( and I want someone Phi Sig love when I get in the airport ;)
(my advisor is flying from the bay area)
Hopefully I can hit up the Theta Chi Chapter (Sac state) and figure something out.

It seems like a lot of ladies from Greek Chat are going. I am very excited!

i wish i could go


:(

If you go to LTS. . .
 

you guys should advertise about

1. greekchat.com
the fact that we all have a message board on here to exchange information. . .ideas. . .fights. . .encouragements. . .should be an incentive to try and get everyone online

2. phi sig sistas on livejournal.com
the fact that i know some phi sigs on there. . .even though they havent' saved me. . .is quite comforting. . .especially when discussing aggravating boys problems


if you do that, maybe we'll have more luck in unifying ourselves as a sorority. . .and cut down some of the 'such-n-shc chapter is snobby' and 'such-n-such chapter is dying out due to low numbers'. . .and get together


of course, you could just register for the phi sig cruise and solve that. . .but *hump* i'm not going. . .

good idea,

and i think all us GCers and LJers should have a get-together sometime...like maybe all sit together at Foundation banquet...or when we have lunch on own on Saturday meet up in the lobby

i would be willing to make cheesy poster board sign that says GC or LJ sisters, etc... :p

I just hate how the schedule is always sooo packed, there's no time for just socializing :(

HI All,

I'm getting ready to pay my fee so that I can go to LTS as a non-delegate. Since I'm from the West Coast I really need to arrive on Wednesday evening which means I have to pay for one nights hotel room (117 per night). However the cost of the room can be split with anyone else who is a nondelegate and wants to room together. Is there anyother non delegates on here who want to share a room Wednesday night and split that cost.

If we do like 2 years ago then a few of us may catch an early train (5 or 6 a.m.) to go in to NYC for a few hours on thursday morning.

Who ever is going to LTS PM me so that I can send you my cell phone number. that way way I can let you know what room I'm in and all the GCrs can try and meet up there.

LITP,
Carolyn

Okay, it's official. I faxed in my registration and payment info today to CO. Whoever else is going don't forget to PM me so I can give you my contact info so we can make sure Greekchatters meet up.

Is anyone that going artistic? maybe we can get someone to make a posterboard for us about greekchat.

Also, it looks like PhiSigCloud may be joining us at LTS. It's going to be so much fun - we had a blast last year at Convention.

Yay for LTS
 

Yes, Phisigcloud will be joining you ladies at LTS this summer. I can't wait to go. I am trying to see if more of my chapter sisters want to go. I already convinced one.
Can't wait to meet all you dynamic women of Phi Sigma Sigma at LTS.
