1980-1988

Grand Convention, 1980

Miami

Jane Brokaw Gallup, Alpha Lambda/Washington:

“We have just wrapped up another Grand Convention. If there are any of you who have wondered what goes on at these biennial gatherings, a review of the first twenty pages of this issue should provide a clue. There is non-stop activity...serious fraternity business to be attended to, new council members to elect, training sessions for collegians and alumnae, reunions, inspiring speakers, a kaleidoscope of the Fraternity today, a night of hilarity, one free afternoon, and more reunions.”

Scottsdale, Ariz.

Karen Lisowski, Delta Psi/UC Riverside:

"Serving as a page for our Grand Convention has proven to be a unique opportunity for me in this respect. In the few short days I have been here, I have not only met and worked with the leaders who organize and support our fraternity but have become a part of the effort that will make this convention a success... As I run errands and do a variety of other tasks, serving the Grand Council, national officers and convention committee, I watch the hard work, careful planning and love that goes on behind the scenes to prepare for each scheduled event and will never again wonder why our fraternity is such a success.”

Grand Convention, 1984

Nashville

"I hardly know where to begin to describe the personal impact that the laughter, the hard work and the parting tears would have on each Theta who attended. More importantly, how could I describe convention to those who have not yet attended? (I am optimistic that many of you will!) Our loyalty to Kappa Alpha Theta has often been buried within us, for some since graduation from college and university. Theta does not stop at that point in our lives. Theta is truly for a lifetime!”
