Convention 2010

[Fleur de Lis]

As MSKKG said, Convention was really amazing. If you ever get the chance to go, definitely do it but plan for a day after to rest - it is a whirlwind! I feel like I have a whole new perspective on Kappa and loved meeting former and current Fraternity Council members and other alumnae and actives.

Some exciting news was that the Foundation met their $2.5 million goal for Leadership Academy a whole year early! I did not have MSKKGS's restraint and bought lots of goodies. The speaker at the Candlelight Dinner was absolutely hysterical!!!

One of my favorite moments was doing the end of ritual (kappas know what I mean) with 1,000 women in a huge conference room. Also, seeing a room full of your sisters wearing white was beautiful (although you could tell some women bought one white dress in 1984 and wear it every two years lol!)

The strangest thing was the inordinate number of women with foot injuries. They even did a group shot of them to post! I only wish I'd had more time to enjoy the beautiful Arizona Biltmore.

Aww I definitely just teared up remembering that from the 2008 convention. So special and exciting!

Our AA president was worried she wouldn't remember the songs and rituals because she was a senior by the time we were installed as a Kappa chapter. I assured her she'd be fine. I'm eager to hear how it went, but I know she had a ton of fun.

I haven't been on GC for a while, so I kind of missed the boat on this thread... but I'm so ridiculously jealous I couldn't go to Convention! I got a text from one of our chapter delegates during the award ceremony saying that Eta Epsilon had won the Recruitment award for our chapter size bracket and had gotten five honorable mentions - Academic Excellence, Greatest Improved Chapter, Standards, Panhellenic and Finance. There were three women from my chapter there and they were so incredibly proud and excited, as were the women who support us (LCs, CCD, RDC, PDC, alumnae, advisors). The chapter hasn't won very much in the past so hopefully this is the start of bigger and better things to come!
