Convention Day 3

Greetings from St Louis!

Day 3 here at Alpha Chi Omega national convention has been a whole lot of fun! We got to see our new national council initiated, retired our out going officers, voted on some important ritual changes, and so much more!

Lunch was hosted by National Housing Corporation and we got a chance to see one of our local collegiate chapters, Alpha Kappa at the University of Oregon, win several awards in housing!

The evening was highlighted by a DV walk around the Arch and plenty of fun and bonding with our sisters. It was a great way to end the day.

Look for Day 4 tomorrow!

Loyally,
Brynn

Convention Day 2

Hello again from St Louis!

We are having a fabulous time here at The Arch!

Yesterday saw many fun and important events, highlighted below:
  • We voted to elect our 2012-2014 National President, Council, and Nominating Committees
  • We learned during the State of the Enterprise address that Alpha Chi Omega is excelling! We were given copies of the pertinent information from that address, which will be posted and mailed out at a later date
  • Alpha Chi Omega launched the Forever, For Now campaign, an initiative to raise 7 millions dollars by 2014. Each chapter was given a goal donation that will be shared at a later time
 I am also VERY pleased to announce that Portland State Chapter, Delta Omicron, was honored with a national award for Financial Management! There are still many awards to be given out and I will make sure to share if we get anything else, but I hope you will join me in congratulating these women.

That's all for St. Louis! More to come...

Loyally,
Brynn

Convention Day 1

Hello from St Louis!

Xi Xi has arrived! After a not so enjoyable flight from Portland to St Louis (the plane from Denver was just too small), we are settled in and ready for the fun!

The hotel is amazing and the staff has been great. There are sisters EVERYWHERE! They are expecting over 900 Alpha Chi's from all over the country, which is fantastic.

First on the agenda was a mandatory meeting for voting delegates. During that meeting we learned all about the how and why of the next dew days. We are going to be voting on some pretty important stuff, including our 2012-2014 National Council and Nominating Committee, as well as some name changes and ritual stuff. All this will happen in the next few days, and I will share more about that as it happens!

Tonight is our first dinner together and I'm looking forward to that! Stay tuned over the next few days for all the fun and sisterhood from St Louis!

LITB,
Brynn
