[AGDAlum]

I walked in my front door at 12:11 a.m. today and was way too tired to log on, much less to form a coherent sentence.

Convention was most memorable! The parade of chapter flags was impressive--one for each, in the school colors. The flags ringed the meeting room for the duration of the Convention. The archives room had displays from the decades--manuals, photos, memorabilia. The heritage rooms had displays from chapters and clubs. Exemplification of all the rituals--not just initiation but also opening and closing a meeting, wearing the badge--was letter perfect. Even better, the Ritual Chairman did a superb job of explaining what we were doing.

The Foundation has tremendous accomplishments. The Campaign for Alpha Gamma Delta exceeded its ambitous goal!

I hadn't been for such a long time that I surprised myself at how many people I recognized and reconnected with. Those sisterly bonds certainly extend acress the years.

And the new sisterly bonds! I spent a lot of time with my alumnae club sisters, including the free afternoon, getting to know them. (We went to the newly-opened Millenium Park.) It was soooo great to meet the Greek Chat Alpha Gams. I talked to non-GCers who said, "Oh, online? That's nice," or "How do I get there?" There's a group photo that I've already downloaded but I don't know how to get it here. (AGDee said she'd help me.)

I returned home with renewed appreciation for Alpha Gam and a determination to do what I can to help her prosper.
