Thank you for giving me the opportunity of being your representative at Convention for a second time.

This year convention was held in Chicago and the theme was “Magnificent Milestones” – honouring the great achievements of Delta Delta Delta:

  • 120 years of sisterhood
  • 20 years of the DDD Foundation
  • 20 years of National House Corporation
  • 10 years of Delta Shop
  • 5 years of Life Loyal

Above and beyond that the Convention was an opportunitiy to learn about new and important initiatives that DDD is leading – initiatives like Reflections – the first peer-led eating disorder prevention program to effectively challenge the thin ideal among college women. Thanks to DDD underwroting the manual it is now available to universities nationwide!

The one thing that stuck with me the most was the call to get to know your membership – I hope over the
