Conventions 2008
I did a search and only came up with threads within specific sorority forums, but...
It's Convention Season!!! The Alpha Gams are heading to the San Antonio Rivercenter Marriott for our Convention. Several of us on GC are arriving Tuesday or Wednesday but Convention officially begins Thursday. On Saturday night, we will be heading to Knibbe Ranch for dinner and that sounds like so much fun! I'm planning on doing some sight seeing Wednesday morning (particularly the Alamo) and then hitting the pool until around 2 pm when I have to start getting ready for meetings Wednesday afternoon/evening. My commitments end around 9 pm that evening so I'm hoping to get some sisters to go check out the Riverwalk with me that night. I saw that the Sigma Kappas are heading to Indian Wells at the same hotel where we were in 2006! You are going to love the pool and the circle staircase! I thought the meeting room layout was kind of strange and people had a hard time finding some of the meeting rooms at times. We had to walk outdoors to get to the dining room and it was VERY hot, so be prepared. It was a bit of a walk too and you had to walk past the pool and envy the people in the water while you're in your formal gowns! I got blisters on top of my blisters during that one because I did not break in my new shoes ahead of time. I'm on top of my game this year though! And I believe Chi Omega was in San Antonio in 2006. Is it St. Louis this year? Who else??? |
Deltas are in Orlando July 24-30.

It seems like many of the NPC groups that have conventions this summer chose west/southwest locations. Have a blast, ladies!

If memory serves, Theta was in San Antonio last time ('06) and in Indian Wells before that ('04). (I must be getting old, as the Conventions are starting to run together in my brain.) This year it's Miami, starting Wednesday evening. Not sure I'll get out of the resort this year.
Happy Conventions, fellow even-year-ers! |

Delta Upsilon's annual convention, Leadership Institute, will be in Houston July 31-August 3. At the grand banquet we will find out the location for next year's LI...rumor is Albany, NY!
|
Theta Phi Alpha's convention will be in Chicago in July.
Sadly, I cannot attend this year. I cannot take a whole week off work since we are extremely short-staffed. |
San Antonio
Note on San Antonio--its been HOT here the last few weeks, much so for this early in the summer. When visiting outside, plan to stay hydrated.
We have not had a whole lot of rain this year yet, so bugs shouldn't be too bad, especially in the city. For the Riverwalk--I highly recommend a restuarant called Iron Cactus. Its my fave down there and they have great tableside guacamole. I take visitors there and they are always impressed, especially when they find out mayonaise is not an ingredient in authentic guac. :) Enjoy!! ETA: DPhiE is celebrating its convention this summer in the DC area. |
SAI has triennial conventions and our next one is not until next year...in chicago, I believe.
Phi Sig, on the other hand, is having Grand Chapter and Convention is early August in Tennessee. |
As Chaos said, Deltas will be in Orlando this summer, July 24-30. OPhiAs will be in Denver July 16-20.

Looks like Texas is a popular destination.
Sigma Nu is in Austin. :cool: It's going to be hot! http://www.sigmanu.org/images/gc_aus...age_banner.jpg |
