Are any of you coming to Convention this summer?

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have-- I'm looking forward to sunny southern California!!!

Cherub and I are entering a song!

Now if I could only afford to actually ATTEND convention!

Stupid exchange rate

Yeah! And stupid pay scale for professors!

Hey cherub, we need to find a chapter to tape the song!

I was really thinking of going but my summer internship conflicts! I will go someday though!

I've got a job!!! I'm so excited because now I actually CAN afford to go to Anaheim.

Now my chore is finding out if I can book those three days off work - I'd like to make the Canadian breakfast if at all possible, but I may end up just doing the weekend package.

Carnation, how's the song coming? yes, we do need to find a chapter to sing and I don't recommend mine. Love them dearly, but they really can't carry a tune

Anybody who hears anything interesting from Convention--please post it here! It starts today!

Our Web site has been completely redone. It's fantastic!

Carnation-- What was the name of the song that you entered? There were a lot of great songs and I hope they are passed along to the chapters...

I am recovered, although not unpacked from convention. It's a hectic weekend, and I went early so I could play a little before working. I just uploaded my pics to my computer today

To all who have not had the pleasure, I highly recommend attending. You'll never think of ritual the same way when you hear it recited with 1200 of your sisters! We will next gather in Tampa, Florida June 24-28, 2005!

I'm so glad the next convention is a little closer to home,and a cheaper flight too! I can feel it, 2005 is the year for me...although that's what I said in 2001 about 2003

Carnations and my song was to Carol of the Birds. My CP was in the convention choir and she said she heard it or sang it. Unfortunately, the website hasn't been updated yet so Carnation and I haven't been able to confirm anything about how we did.

I can't wait for the songbook. I love learning new songs.

Here's the music to our song: www.noelnoelnoel.com/piano/birdpno.html

and our words:

Softly she calls from sea to sea,
Blessed be our fraternity!
Flourishing now as in days gone by,
Pi Beta Phi, Pi Phi, Pi Phi!

Precious traditions, arrows' shine,
Fragrant carnations, deepest wine,
Arrows, like angels, heavenward fly:
Pi Beta Phi, Pi Phi, Pi Phi!

As twelve did once, we now to you
Offer the bonds of wine and blue,
Hue of the grape and hue of the sky,
Pi Beta Phi, Pi Phi, Pi Phi!

Oh I love the song! I hope it placed!

Did anyone's chapter receive any awards? IN Gamma received the Historian's Cup and one of the 10 Spirit Awards. I know we're psyched! How did everyone else do?
