I agree with xokathy's perceptions, though it's hard to say... Convention is on a much "grander" scale. To be surrounded by over 1000 Chi Omegas of various ages & parts of the country is an awesome thing. Plus, like Kathy mentioned, the model initiation and the President's banquet, Night of Revelry, Awards Luncheon, business meetings, Parade of Chapter G.H.s, etc. Also, sometimes "famous" alumnae attend! We've had Pat Schroeder (congresswoman from Colorado), Susan Helms (astronaut), Pat Head Summit (basketball coach), Mary Ann Mobley (former Miss America), Ellen Gilchrist (author), Victoria Mackenzie Childs (artist), Blanche Lambert Lincoln (Senator from Arkansas)...the list goes on.
But...(here's where I contradict myself!) I love Firesides too! It's smaller in scale and you have the chance to get to know the other delegates as well as the HQ staff and/or the Governing Council member in attendance.
Both are great.
