Phi Mu National Convention

Where do I even begin with how wonderful this past week was in San Antonio?  First of all, I had never been to Texas before so just simply going was exciting.  All of the meals were amazing.  I don't think I've ever eaten as much beef though.  We had steak for lunch our first day and ribs the second day.  I'm not used to eating such heavy lunches.  Needless to say, I will be eating a lot of turkey and chicken this week :)  It was so interesting sitting in the business sessions.

Every small detail was perfect at convention.  I was obsessed with all of the centerpeices for our meals. The very last night of convention we have a Carnation Banquet.  This was unbelievably gorgeous.  The flowers were perfect and the dinner was delicious.  I am so proud to say that my chapter at UNC Wilmington was awarded the Philomathean Society award.  It was so exciting to see all of the awards that the chapters and alumnae chapters have won due to their dedication to our fraternity.

I really enjoyed being able to hang out with the Phi Mu chapter consultants this past week.  I am even more excited and ready to begin my job with these amazing women.  We will all be reunited at headquarters 2 weeks from today to begin our training.

Everything's Bigger in Texas!

It's finally time for Phi Mu's National Convention in San Antonio! Ever since I have been in Phi Mu, it has always been a dream of mine to go to convention. The president is always able to go, however they only have convention every other year. Of course, the year I was chapter president wasn't a convention year and I thought I would never have the opportunity to go again. You can only imagine my excitement when I found out chapter consultants were going.

This will be my first encounter with collegiate chapters as a chapter consultant. I am nervous, but so excited to start working with the amazing chapters we have around the United States. I can't wait to reunited with all of my consultant friends. I can't believe I'm leaving for my job in less that 3 weeks!

I have overpacked (as usual). I have waaaay too many shoes and dresses packed. I would much rather be safe than sorry I didn't bring something though. The new suitcases that I got for my consultant travels are already coming in handy.

I can't wait to share the memories made and pictures with y'all when I get back on Sunday. I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe 4th of July!
