Now that we're back from Palm Springs....

The photos are really great. I especially liked the fact that the photographer clearly took some "beauty shots" that can be used in marketing materials. I snagged several to be included in our recruitment video/slideshow ... the ceremonial ones are pics that you may not normally capture in your own chapter photo collection.

OK, see.....a little Alpha Phi snuck on over to the AST board and posted that ya'll will be in Disney World in 2006.

Well, so will AST!! But I'm trying to figure out WHEN ya'll will be there!!! Does anyone know? Can you PM me or post it or something?

We will be there the last week in June (June 27th-July1st maybe?).

Wouldn't that be cool....sorority girls take over Disney!!!!

I believe our Convention will be from June 28-July 2 at the JW Marriott in Orlando.

I want to be there SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad ....i am hoping i will this time. Because i love disney a tad bit and it has been a yr since i was at Disney World and the next time would be better ALpha Phi and Disney......dream come true

I'm already dreaming of dinner at the California Grill and fireworks! Definitely Disney after convention, July rolls into value season! How tweaked am I for knowing that off the top of my head?

Only two weeks until I get a quickie DisneyLAND fix!

I dunno ... last time we had Convention in Florida, I went to Disney for July 4th ... jeez was it unbearably hot and humid ... i'm maybe the spoil sport on this one ... i would prefer to stay away from excessive humidity preferring the dry heat of the desert areas like scottsdale. having said that, the tri-delts had their convention at a hotel on the riverwalk in san antonio which i think would be lovely ... but again, hot and humid.

I'm thinking that they're held in these places so that we can keep our minds on business and not on play. The only time I was outside at this year's convention was when I was en route to sessions, the gym, or meals.

[Aphigal]

You went to the gym?? Oh wait I was sick dying in my bed most of convention!

Convention is usually held at a 4 or 5 star resort in their off season...so we get the great accomodations with a lower rate. Otherwise rooms would have been $300+ a night.

[Sistermadly]

I think we should have Convention 2008 here!

[gogoaphi]

Convention on Greek chat? hmmmm .... but how in the world would "slap bang" work????

[bruinaphi]

I think she meant the Fairmont Lake Louise (which is the website that "here" links to, not Greekchat. I think we can do slap bang fairly well there myself.

Thanks for being my translator, LD. Want to follow me around for the next, oh, 40 years or so?

And to put in my umpteenth plug for Vancouver/Whistler (just THINK of how far your US dollar will go!), there's the Fairmont Whistler Hotel (Whistler is BEAUTIFUL in the summer), the Pan Pacific Whistler Resort, or the Whistler-Blackcomb Resort!
