Convention 2011

AOIIalum · #1 06-08-2011, 07:37 PM

Anyone else getting ready for Tucson? Are there any other AOII GCers going to Convention besides myself, Morag, OleMissGlitter, AOII Angel (you are going, right?) and JackieRose?

I'm definitely going! My bio sister is going as the Baton Rouge delegate, too. I am so excited. It's her first time. AzTheta and AZ Alpha Xi are going to come for Candlelighting to visit.

Oooh, let me know so I can stop by and meet them, even if it's a drive-by meetup!

Crashing to say that AZ-Alpha Xi and I are so excited to come to your convention Candlelighting ceremony (woohoo) and we will be sporting our very best badges (and might even bring some others for show and tell, if you'd like). We're so happy that you are all coming to Tucson. Be forewarned: it's dry as a bone (think single digit humidity) and HOT. Pack some eye drops and lip protectant. And bring your swim suit - Starr Pass has a lazy river! Not to be missed.

I'll be going!!

I'm a little bit nervous, as I'm required to attend everything (not that I wouldn't anyway..) as well as participate in the Candle Lighting Ceremony and other things. This is the first Convention I've been to and I feel like I'll forget to bring something haha.

I just received an invitation to attend your Panhellenic luncheon on the 25th. I'll looking forward to it. Hope you'all have a wonderful convention and a great time in Tucson.

We'll have to have a GC meet up, Guitar! You'll be fine. The events are not hard to get to. They won't chop of your head if you miss something.

I missed closing ritual last time because I had a migraine. I didn't want to miss it because it's my favorite thing, but it couldn't be helped. Nothing happened. That being said, just don't go skipping stuff for the hell of it!

This is AWESOME, btw. Too bad you have to sit with the other NPC delegates.

Can't wait to see you all!

Gonna be awesome

They won't chop off my head, but they won't pay for my trip if I don't attend things either

I'm unsure of how much "Free Time" I'll actually have, but if you can find me I'm all for it! Just listen for a Canadian accent :P

So excited!!!!

Ha...yeah, they will. That's what I'm saying. I missed a mandatory event and still had my trip paid for. Don't make yourself sick worrying about it! There's more free time than you think. The business meetings can get a little heated, but that makes them fun. I'll be the Phoenix delegate. What's your chapter name?

Oh! haha okay that makes me feel a bit better!!

Is it sad that I actually look forward to the business meetings?

Super happy. Like this:

My chapter is Lambda Epsilon.

Oh, please do bring some others for show and tell. How late do you and AZ-Alpha Xi plan to stay around afterwards? I have to be in meetings after the Candlelighting, but will move heaven and earth to come meet you both somehow!!!

We will bring a few treasures to show (AOII Angel will be wearing the ruby badge, I hope! I think I know which one AZ-Alpha Xi will be wearing, they both know which badge I'll have on), and maybe we should get there earlier rather than later so we can visit before you go off to do Convention business. I don't mind hanging out...

We should be easy to find, we will be the ones who are wearing the kite and the quill. We are both so excited to be coming and hope to meet whoever is there from GC. StarrPass is lovely, it'll be great fun!

Its my birthday and I'm taking the afternoon off so we can come on out whenever you'd like. I'm really looking forward to see you and the ceremony.
