They then are escorted to the podium, where they introduce themselves and say what chapter they represent. Then they walk over to the wall, hang the shield up for display, and take their seat.
Fun fact: Each person who carries the shield, signs the back of it with their name and the year. So you can look on the back of them and see who carried the shield of your chapter before you (they go WAY back).
These are a big deal. It's tradition for everyone who is at Convention from a chapter to take a group pic with their shield (ex: all the Alpha Betas in attendance take a pic with the AB shield).

AST does something very similar to this.. except we don't sign the back of the shields. I love the idea
