Well, I was disappointed in our Founders Day. We had 3 show up. We are kind of in a rebuilding phase now, so I know it will get better. I think one of the best Founders Day I ever attended was in Atlanta, probably 30 years ago. They closed the doors and we did the full candlelighting ceremony. They did the roll call with chapter members standing as their chapter name was called - very emotional for me as our chapter is closed. And for the Omega Toast, the older alums stood on their chairs and lifted their toddies high! THAT's something you won't see again for a l-o-n-g time!

This is what they have always done at the FoundersDay celebrations here. But with only 3 people I can see how that might not work. We typically have a brunch buffet, speaker, basket raffle, some type of Foundation update, a collegiate/alumnae update, recognition of guests, toasts, grace, candlelighing and oath.
