The Doral Golf Resort is very beautiful. I used to live right down the road from there when Doral was being developed. Enjoy your stay at the Resort.

We hold ours on the odd years; the Congress will meet next year in Kentucky. I'm already ridiculous excited to go. I've heard it is quite the experience.

Psi U has convention every year. This year we are holding it at the University of Illinois.

I wish I had a reason to go to our convention. I'm not an involved alumna at all; it would be kind of fun to go.

You should go! It's a lot of fun. I was definitely going, but now I'm looking at the budget and trying to decide if I can swing it. I attend a lot of conventions for work, but AXO always blows them out of the water.

That's a good reason to go, just to reconnect. I know the women planning our convention would be tickled pink if they had a lot of non-delegates there.

Omega Phi Alpha's will be in St. Louis, MO in July!

I'm an alumnae delegate and I'm so excited as this will be my first OPA convention!!

[AGDLynn]

Just announced on the Atlanta news.

Alpha Phi Omega is moving their convention from Arizona to Atlanta!

[AOEforme]

Alpha Omega Epsilon's is in Louisville this year. I'm hoping to go! It would be my first as an alumna, which is super exciting.

I went last year when it was in New Mexico and it was the best.

[TPA85]

Theta Phi Alpha's is in Nashville this year. I won't be attending this one but I will be at 2012's Convention because it's our 100th year!!!

I think there are only a handful of cities that have the convention center capabilities and transportation amenities required for a national sorority convention. If you look at the NPC sororities, you definitely see trends from year to year. Orlando is a very popular destination. A few years ago, everyone was in Palm Desert and Scottsdale. They also tend to be the same places that many large professional conventions are--New Orleans, Denver, etc. It's no coincidence, really.

Yep. We were in Scottsdale at Palm Desert in 2004. In 2007, we were at Opryland in Nashville. This year, Sheraton in Minneapolis.
