Soror Johnson-Sirleaf's presentation was wonderful. She has recently written a memoir This Child Will be Great.

I want to thank the sorors of the Delta Phi Omega Chapter of Minneapolis/St. Paul, who showed me the meaning of Twin Cities sisterhood when I was in residence there.
I also want sing the praises of my amazing 68. She is a soror who is accomplished, wise beyond her years, pretty in the way that only our sorors can be, and always willing to share her hard won Pearls of Wisdom with me. Love you ship.

Haven't seen any, but I think that parts of the contest are going to be televised. I think I saw a commercial for MTV2.
Also, I think that the finals are going to be in Atlanta, if you were thinking about trying to get to a show.

The Mu Pi Chapter welcomed 44 lovely young ladies into the sisterhood yesterday afternoon at 4:08, including one of my former students . I had the pleasure of being there to witness the event which was absolutely beautiful from beginning to end.
Congrats to Mu Pi
