National Convention News!

Hey SED,

I am very pleased to present to you the TBS SED 2013 Guide to National Convention, part 1. In this guidebook, you will find information such as travel plans, TBS business methods, and even plans for SED Communication at NatCon!

As you can see from the title, this is only part 1. Part 2 will be released approximately 2 weeks before convention with information like specific workshops to look for, who to meet, further SED communication methods, and the completed finalized schedule!

If you are still debating with yourself whether the financial obligation and trip is a possibility I encourage you to look up EVERY way of travel to see which is in your price range… travel by plane, train, or car! Share the load with friends from your chapter, school, or district! Also, don’t forget, you can register all the way up until the event– however the earlier you register, the more informed you will be on NatCon announcements! And lastly, hotel… the convention rate is only available until THIS FRIDAY, June 21st! So even if you aren’t sure yet, think about booking a hotel and deciding later, their cancellation policy is good up until the day you check in!

As always, let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or thoughts about anything I have mentioned! I cannot wait for the SED to SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT in Springfield!

TGIF Reminders! (On a Saturday)

Hey SED!

I just have a few reminders for you as we enter a new week!

#1 and most important— National Convention Forms. Even if your chapter is not attending, you need to make sure to fill out the proxy form. (We did do this at SED Convention, however if your chapter was not present, then this may not have been completed.) If your chapter does have an official delegate attending convention, the delegate form can be found in your chapter mailbox or online at this address http://natcon.kkytbsonline.com/forms/. Lastly, if you or anyone from your chapter is considering attending convention, please help us spread the word to register (http://natcon.kkytbsonline.com/register-online/)! The numbers for the SED right now are not as high as we’d like them to be! Convention is on the east coast this year and we want to see a HUGE SED representation! For info on the SED Takeover trip or if you have any questions about convention, please contact ANY member of your district council!

#2- Communication and Approachability. One of my main goals for the year is to create a visible council of whom any sister would not hesitate to contact if they need to talk! So, start watching your mail even this summer as we release our summer edition of SHELLS (a Council newsletter) and 2 parts of a Guide to National Convention! Your 2013-2014 Council is always a phone call, email, or fb message away from anything you need! Please do not shy away from us, we want to get to know YOU! 🙂

#3- Weekend Event! This Saturday is the Psi-85 Cookowt– hosted by the Zeta Sigma chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi and the Epsilon Lambda chapter of Tau Beta Sigma at North Carolina Central University. This cook out, at Pineywood Park in Durham, NC will join ITB from all over the SED and even people from other districts! My only regret for this weekend is that I cannot attend myself! If you are in the area, this is an event I would recommend you attend- they even give out an award to the chapter that drove the furthest!

If you ever need anything or have any questions, please contact me or any member of your district council!

MLITB, Happy Summer!

SED T-Shirt Competition Winner

Hello Sisters of the SED!

I am proud to reveal the winning design from the 2013 SED T-Shirt competition! The winning design was submitted by the Alpha Omega chapter, at THE Florida State University! Deciding the winner was a very difficult task,  as all the submissions we received were awesome! However, to the submissions not chosen this time, there will be another competition in the Spring, before SED Convention and I strongly encourage everyone to reapply in the future! 🙂

Our goal was to provide a unifying design for the entire district, but also a shirt that SED sisters can wear at NatCon for District Day. For those of you who have not been to National Convention before, each day is themed. One of the days, District Day, is a competition of District Spirit– what a better way for the SED to show its “Strength, Excellence, and Diversity” than with new shirts!

Very soon you will be able to purchase them straight from our lovely website, and they will be shipped to you, or given to you if you’re going to NatCon. The only thing we ask is that you please be patient while we finalize our soon to be Merchandise page. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or requests, please feel free to contact me at sedtreasurer@tbsigma.org.

MLITB,
Sal
