I spent the last 5 days attending Kappa Alpha Theta's biennial convention with the representatives from the Duke collegiate chapter as well as members from our local Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill alumnae chapter . There were over 560 Thetas in attendance this year representing collegiate and alumnae chapters from across the US and Canada -- we basically took over the Doral Resort and Spa in Miami! I am continuing to volunteer as the Advisory Board Chairman for the Duke chapter and being able to attend the convention this year with the Duke girls was uplifting. I also immensely enjoyed reconnecting with Theta friends from across the country. I was so proud to be connected to both the Duke chapter and the Kansas State chapter -- they both were award winners at the collegiate level for their overall excellence (Duke got a bronze award, K-State a gold).

Jami (Nelson) Leahy and I were both in the K-State chapter at the same time. It was so fun to catch up with her!
