Travel to Traditions...Grand Convention is here!

Orlando's sunshine was quite the greeting as we arrived here at the hotel earlier today! The journey here has brought us all together to make the memories we will take with us as we depart...I can't wait! 

When we checked in today, we had a little free time so...first stop, GIFT MART! Of course! :)
After shopping around and checking out the vendors, it was time to get ready for our Pre-Convention Info session. This session was incredibly helpful clearing up questions we may have had about the Bylaw Amendments and Resolutions. I am looking forward to participating in the business aspects of Grand Convention and witnessing our voting process!

Next, we were all invited to a "Meet and Greet" with Grand Council. These women are sisters who go above and beyond and are a witness to the true spirit of sisterhood. I have always admired their selfless service to Alpha Delta Pi sorority and it is a privilege seeing them all around at Convention!!

At the Opening Banquet dinner, we were enlightened by an outstanding speaker, Doug Hanson! He was a dynamic speaker and spoke to us about having a "meta-MORE-phosis" of our life...expect more, become more, think more, feel more, and do more! I am thankful to the Foundation for providing these types of speakers and programming and for gifting each of us a copy of Doug's book! 

One of my favorite parts about the first night was preparing for the Adelphean Processional. As we waited to carry our flag, I realized what a special moment that is for each chapter! Countless chapter presidents and sisters have made that same walk and held those same flags. It is such an honor to be a part of this timeless tradition!

Well, its going to be an early morning...I better get some shut eye! I am looking forward to updating you tomorrow on all the fun things happening here in ORLANDO!

Loyally,
