Here are the results of all the Convention Awards.......
The Order of the Delta Gamma Rose went to Fern Holland (Alpha Iota - Oklahoma) who was murdered in Iraq two years ago. The presentation was amazing. Her sister was there to accept the award and brought up 3 of Fern's chapter sisters and best friends to also say something about her.
