Happy summer everyone!!!
I can honestly say that this was one of
the best Memorial Day weekends I have ever had. “Why?” you may ask, and I will
answer very happily, “because of Sigma
Psi Zeta’s National Convention :)”
This year, Sigma Psi Zeta’s National
Convention took place in sunny Orlando, Florida. We had five active sisters
attend convention from the Iota Chapter, Wai Ling “Revelation”, Yichen
“Misaki”, Trissha “Nouvella”, and our Fall 2011 neos, Morgan
“Aquilina” and Victoria “Reaper". We were also joined by two of our alumnae,
The most exciting news of convention was
that the Iota Chapter won 4 Psi Sistership Awards!!! We won them for Citizenship, Integrity, Activism, and
last but not least the Psi Sistership of
The Year award. I was pleasantly surprised, and I feel so proud to be a
part of this chapter! Good job and congratulations to all my Iota syzters :D
Here is a brief summary of our time in
Orlando.
Yichen, Morgan, Victoria, and I arrived
on Thursday, so we had extra time to play. Exhausted from our flights and waiting
at the airport, we decided to take a dip in the hotel pool and Jacuzzi when we
arrived at the beautiful Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. After lounging in
the hammock overlooking the serene lake, we all decided, this was the happiest
place on earth.
We're so happy at our lovely hotel
On Friday we went to Typhoon Lagoon, one
of two Disney themed water parks. We had so much fun riding water slides, tube
rides, and of course the lazy river, ahhhh…

Friday night, Stephany “Improv” from Mu Charter and Wai Ling who arrived that evening joined us. We all headed
to Downtown Disney for a nice Irish dinner, filled with Irish step dancing,
music, and of course, full-bellies.

We found these adorable Steamboat Willie dolls at Downtown Disney!
Saturday was convention day! Our keynote
speaker was from the Harbor House, a DV shelter in Florida. She was an amazing and
informative speaker. Check out the Harbor House website http://www.harborhousefl.com/.
Following that was 2012-2014 Ebod elections. Our very own, Nocturne was elected as Sigma Psi Zeta’s National President! Congratulations!
Also, we voted on the convention location for 2014, and it will be located in
New Orleans, LA. We then had various workshops, presentations, and activities
that were both helpful and fun. It was so nice to get to meet and interact with
sisters from across the country. I even found one from my high school!
Hello Sigmas :)
Iota Actives and Alums :)
We all got prettied up for the banquet
that night where we had delicious food and were presented our Psi sistership
awards.

On Sunday, we decided to go to Disney’s
Hollywood Studios. It was a fun-filled day of theatric shows like the Indiana
Jones stunt show, trilling rides such as Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster,
delicious food like Turkey Legs, and the grand finale of the day, the Disney
Fantasmic water show.
Misaki's favorite :) Turkey Legs!
Aren't the convention tanks so cute?
Reaper and the Stormtrooper!
Monday was the day we all left Florida.
Even though it was sad to see it end, the beautiful weather, meeting new
sisters, and the magic of Disney, it was a great kick off to the summer.
Bye Orlando, bye Sigmas. See you soon!
As Pattie “enACra” said at convention, if we all
save $2 a day, come next May, you will have saved more than enough money to go to
convention and enjoy the area. So, lets start putting away our monies, and I
hope to see everyone there at 2013’s Sigma convention in LA! This was
definitely one of my favorite Sigma memories <3
