National Convention #XO2012

I've always dreamed of meeting over a thousand of my sisters and witnessing the Supreme Governing Council lip sync Call Me Maybe. This month that dream came to fruition when Brittany, Tau Mu G.H., and I were invited to the biennial Chi Omega National Convention held in Phoenix, Arizona. Aside from fawning over Letitia and eating plenty of fabulous food, we attended workshops and official business meetings, listened to successful Chi Omega alumnae speakers, and shared ideas with other chapter presidents and recruitment chairs in an effort to improve the Chi Omega experience even more. And look! We time traveled to April 5, 1895 and met the five Chi Omega founders! Dr. Charles Richardson was quite the bombshell...


After the convention, Kari Broder, local Tau Mu, gave us a proper tour of her home state of Arizona. We went to Sedona and admired the pretty red rocks and giant mountains, experienced the thrill and chill of Slide Rock State Park, and listening to Carrie Underwood on repeat (Brittany was DJing). If anyone else makes it out west, Kari promises to feed you ostrich burgers. Nom?
