Convention Tips
Because it looks like there are many first time convention attendees on Greek Chat, I thought I would start a thread where "old timers" can post helpful tips. I know the first time I attended it seems like I missed some things that I didn't know to look for and I don't think I did a great job bringing back things to my chapter because I wasn't prepared for the information overload that occurs. Anyone else want to share?
1 - Make sure and bring a note pad and pen (or a very good memory) to the Ritual Education session that is immediately prior to the initiation ceremony - this is exactly the type of meeting we should all be having immediately following initiations at our chapters. It would also be great refresher information for an Alumnae Association meeting.
2 - Bring a tape recorder - its a great time to record all of those Alpha Xi Delta songs that your chapter doesn't sing because they don't know them. And if you are a singer, email our National Music Chair to volunteer to be part of the convention chorus. You don't have to come knowing the words - Michele is great and will get you up to speed.
3 - Make sure and attend the orientation session on Wednesday - there will be a lot of information shared.
4 - If more than one person is going from your chapter, make sure and separate for the breakout sessions. This way you will be able to cover a lot more ground. So many great ideas are shared during these sessions.
AZ-Alpha Xi, do you want to share any information about Rose Banquet seating - that's always a little confusing for first time attendees.
