Meet me at the Arch!
 
Anyone attending Convention this year?

Alpha Chi Omega's 57th biennial Convention will be celebrated in
St. Louis, Missouri, July 13-16, 2012!

I am so excited that Jan Langbein will be speaking. I heard her speak this fall about her work to end domestic violence. She was amazing!

I'll be there! I haven't been to convention since Chicago, so I'm excited to be back.

I'm lane swerving because I love my home town.

City Musuem (not really a musuem, more of a playground/art installation)

Restaurants in the Washington Avenue Loft District

The Loop

Also, the Zoo is free and is one of the top 10 in the country.

Sunday brunch at the Boathouse in Forest Park is decent. http://www.boathouseforestpark.com/restaurant.php

If you're into archeology, Cahokia Mounds is a world heritage site.

The biggest mall that is close to downtown is the Galleria in Clayton:

If you can't join the 900 of sisters heading to St. Louis, you can follow #AXOatTheArch for updates via twitter! It's going to be a great Convention :D

I can't wait, it will be my first convention!

Man, I wish my group would have a convention in the Midwest. It seems that ours is ALWAYS somewhere in the South, which would be much more reasonable if it were in the wintertime.

We are lucky because we have an east, mid-west, west rotation. Keeps the troops happy!

DoctorD 07-12-2012 06:35 PM

Panhellenic love: Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Gamma Delta have back to back conventions in the same hotel.... so we are using the same sound/video system.

One way to save money! :)

Xylochick216 07-12-2012 11:43 PM

So excited to see everyone tomorrow!

If you by any chance have kids with you, stop by the Magic House! I loved that place when I was younger :)

Wish I was going to be there! Have a great convention sisters!
