Double-posting but I don't care because I'm receiving Circle Degree AT CONVENTION. OMG.

I recieved Circle Degree at the last convention.

As for attire...
1. the meetings and sessions during the day are badge attire
2. Initiation/Circle Degree that's obvious
3. Laurels Banquet is dressy
4. Festival of Lights is dressy
5. There are some fun activities like pj party/t-shirt swap.

Here are some of my pictures from Nasville

Festival of Lights (this is Monday Night)

Laurels

I was able to witness one of my close friends and sister receive Circle Degree at Convention in Nashville and it was one of my proudest moments that I was able to experience that with her. I also thought it was so cool that there was a sister who received Circle Degree via Sign Language that day.

You're going to have such an amazing time. I am already planning on making sure I am at the next one! You need to post on FB once they make the announcement in MN!

I'm a poor working slub, paying student loans....2 dressy dresses, White (my initiation whites are no longer good)....yea...this is going to be fun.

But I can't wait.

I will be receiving Circle Degree as well

I just thought of something that I saw last convention that I wanted to pass along. I remember that sisters brought copies of their "Path from Farmville" to have signed by sisters they met and National Officers. I didn't bring mine, the thought didn't even cross my mind, but I thought it was a cool idea!

Well it is official. I will not be going to convention. My niece is having some issues and is coming to stay with me this summer for some special attention.

I hope everyone has a fabulous time.

Aww, cruise4fun. You'll be missed, but I hope you and your neice have a great summer.

Sidenote: Just booked my flight, for $10! Thanks, Dad and Frequent Flyer miles

I was home for the long weekend and got some clothes for convention. I can't believe how close it is! Got a nice dress/cardigan for the day activities and a nice white dress for ritual (along with a shrug). An experienced convention attendee sent me a guideline to clothes for convention and forewarned me about the tendency for all hotels to have intense air conditioning so there will be lots of layers brought. I can't wait!

p.s...link to my new white dress..http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com...&maxPg=4&size=

I've started my shopping too!

Do you care if I PM you with questions?

I'm a rookie and I want to make sure i'm bringing the right stuff.

Soooo excited!

We're going to need to start planning a meet-up here soon!

PM away KSU!

Ugh, I'm struggling with the appropriate attire issue too, and I was a consultant!

I'm nervous about dresses for the banquets. How formal are they? Do I need to go out and get a floor-length gown? I have a knee length little black dress, but I guess I'm just concerned...

ms_gwyn · #29 06-01-2010, 02:28 PM

You and me both Celi...

I think I'm going Cocktail for Laurels Banquet

and floor length for Festival of Lights...

I also just found out that I may have to puchase another pair of whites for the opening...I'm really struggling financially at the moment...I don't think that is going to have...

::sigh::

I'm very excited about convention and really wanted this, but during all of those...things started to hit the fan for me....

It will get better and everything will work out for me, I just have to have faith that it will.

I see you got the exact same e-mail earlier this morning about whites.

I wish they had a scholarship for each alumnae chapter the way that they have done Destination Sigma in the past. I'm a graduate student too, and on VERY limited funds...

I tell you what. I'm going to PM you about sizes, and maybe I might have some extra stuff lying around - Sigma consignment shop for Convention, lol! I know that I can offer a suit jacket that you are more than welcome to alter, and I saw a white skirt suit at Ross for $20. You may want to check that out in your area if possible.
