Here are the results of all the Convention Awards.......

If you need any descriptions of the awards, please let me know.....and I'll include them in another post. :)

Andrea! You are amazing! Thank you for typing all of that out! I love seeing the finalists all listed too! I'm so proud of how strong our great Fraternity is!

I'm wishing I would hgave gone to convention now. :( California is oh so far away, but I have a whole lifetime of conventions ahead of me too ! :)

And, if you aren't the all-things-DG stalker like me and haven't taken a look at the Fort Worth alumnae page yet, do so immediately. All those pictures are absolutely precious! I especially love the ones from Gamma Tau installation.

Also, I think I should change my name since this one is really just from my recruitment thread, any suggestions? ... Can you tell that I am completely procrastinating on a paper? I think this is the longest post I've ever made on this board.

Yay!
 

Convention Awards were so exciting! I am ATC for Beta Delta chapter - Colorado College so it was thrilling to watch their president accept the PPD and the Frankie Ladley Wakefield Parnassus Award!!

Random question: anyone know why the Outstanding Chapter award is given out based on number of Panhellenic chapters on your campus and not chapter size??

Here's the info about the Foundation Awards from Convention. As Duke ATC, I was way proud of my girls (and Ally Ramsey, former Foundation adviser), when Beta Theta tied for the H. K. Stuart!
