How many National Conventions of your GLO have you attended?

I've attended 14, beginning in 1982.

I've attended four Alpha Phi Omega national conventions and three Alpha Phi Alpha national gatherings (two general conventions and the centennial convention).

Only one. It's expensive, especially when they choose to have them in the middle of nowhere.

We only send one delegate from each chapter to National Convention, and I wasn't a member the last time we had it (it's every three years). We'll send someone this year, but we haven't picked who yet.

AGD is having Convention this summer in St. Louis but I won't be able to go because HOPEFULLY, we will be moving.

I am HOPING that the next one will be in Atlanta. (Hint, hint, hint!)

I've been involved with drum corps the years of the conventions, and they're held during Finals Week.

Two. I'll be attending my third in July. It's in Dallas, which is only about a 3 hour drive, so no excuse not to go.

Two, and I was initiated at the first. I am trying to find a way to go to at least one day of this year's convention. It sounds crazy to some, that I'd go for just a day, but I'll have a 3 month old by the time of convention and cannot afford to bring someone with me to watch him, so I may try to just go to the final day and leave the little bub at home. Not ideal, but I really, really want to go even if it's only a day!!

Atlanta 2001 was my very first Convention. I've also attended the 2004 Centennial in Chicago and 2006 in Indian Springs. MAN -- that was HOT.

I was hoping to attend the one in St. Louis but it doesn't look like it'll be possible. There's always 2014!
