I'll probably be going to the Southeast/Mid Atlantic combined Regional Conference in February. Anyone out there planning on going?

Pacific Northwest in Portland this year...I'm happy and sad though. Regional is a blast, but PNW & SW combined was soooo much fun. THE WEST IS BEST!

Oh, no-no-no! The WEST (did I mention it's the best?

) reaped PLENTY of awards.

Aphigal · #11 12-03-2002, 11:32 PM

I will have to get my hands on the official list...I was too busy handing them out to all those great Northeast chapters to remember who won what!!

Aphigal, sweetie...we both know what the statistics say about who rocks the fraternity. The Northeast may have done well in convention awards, but so did the West. Here's a recap of the awards that were given out at the awards presentation (all I have in my bedroom):

West
1. Excellence in Chapter Forum (Bordeaux): Lambda (Berkeley)
2. Excellence in Philanthropy Programming (Silver): Iota Zeta (Mines)
3. Excellence in Philanthropy Programming (Bordeaux): Beta Pi (USC)
4. Excellence in Alumnae Relations Single Event (Silver): Zeta Beta (LMU)
5. Excellence in Alumnae Relations Singe Event (Bordeaux): Sigma (UW)
6. Excellence in Alumnae Relations Year Round (Bordeaux): Beta Zeta (Idaho)
7. Excellence in All Member Education and Retention (Silver): Theta Alpha (Linfield)
8. Ecellence in All Member Education and Retention (Bordeaux): Beta Zeta (Idaho)
9. Excellence in New Member Orientation (Silver): Delta Gamme (UNC)
10. Excellence in New Member Orientation (Bordeaux): Beta Pi (USC)
11. Outstanding Recruitment Song (Silver): Eta Delta (CSUH)
12. Outstanding Recruitment Song (Bordeaux): Lambda (Berkeley)
13. Oustanding Chant (Silver): Eta Delta (CSUH)
14. Outstanding Chant (Bordeaux): Beta Pi (USC)
15. Most Creative Scholarship Program (Bordeaux): Beta Pi (USC)
16. Excellence in Formal Recruitment (Silver): Delta Gamma (UNC)
17. Excellence in Formal Recruitment (Bordeaux): Beta Epsilon (UA)
18. Excellence in Formal Recruitment (Bordeaux): Beta Zeta (Idaho)
19. Most Improved Formal Recruitment (Bordeaux): Sigma (UW)
20. Most Improved Continuous Open Bidding (Silver): Beta Psi (SJSU)

Northeast
1. Oustanding Chapter Finance (Silver): Zeta Phi (MIT)
2. Excellence in Officer Transition and Training (Bordeaux): Delta (Cornell)
3. Excellence in Chapter Forum (Silver): Zeta Phi (MIT)
4. Outstanding Website (Bordeaux): Delta (Cornell)
5. Most Innovative Member Development (Bordeaux): Delta (Cornell)
6. Highest GPA (Silver): Zeta Phi (MIT)

In all fairness I must mention that the NE won a lot of awards at the awards luncheon & at the installation dinner (and that Aphigal's wonderful alum group also did very well). However, the West also did well at the luncheon so it would take a lot to convince me that the NE even comes close to the West (even if you break us into two regions)!

WOO-HOO! High-five for THE WEST!

Don't forget Eta Delta also won Outstanding Chapter Sisterhood Song, and the THE WEST also had two Francis E. Willard award winners, two Ursa Major winners, a Michaelanean winner, and an Outstanding Chapter Adviser (Sigma Chapter).

However, I'm in COMPLETE agreement that those fabulously enthusiastic Rhody Phis set a new standard for Alumnae Chapters! Way to go!

Hi everyone this is my first time to Greek chat as a registered user. I'm really excited. I'm the new chapter President at St. Mary's University in San antonio, Tx. We won't be attending the south central regional conference this coming year because it falls at the same time as our rec. but we will be attending the one in LA instead!! I'm so excited and look forward to meeting those of you who will be there. I've heard good things about the Southwest region!
