We had an excellent convention - our collegiate representatives Andrea Endres and Emma Wahlberg joined Growth Advisor Leona Parent Grzymkowski in Portsmouth, VA for the 45 national convention of Alpha Sigma Tau.
As part of the convention programming, browsed the sorority history in the “125 Years of AST” historical display, enjoyed a lovely dinner cruise where we ate dinner with past national president Patricia Simmons (2002-2008), attended the General Sessions and got up to date on national sorority business - including voting on changes to national bylaws and incoming national officers.
We also met up with other Beta Xi alum - Lisamarie Fredericks, Christianne Yentz, Tammy Bonnifield, and Lauren Warren (pictured above with Leona, Andrea, and Emma). Other exciting activities including shopping the silent auction, Emerald Boutique, getting our 125 year dangles installed on our badge and guard, and spending time sisters, Beta Xi and otherwise. We even got to catch up with our Educational Consultant, Gabby!
On the last day, we attended educational breakout sessions on topics ranging from growth to membership development to etiquette and everything in between. We also attending the Yellow Rose Banquet, where we enjoyed a formal dinner and celebration of national award winners.
Overall, we enjoyed our time at convention and are looking forward to coming back to the fall semester with a reignited sense of purpose and sisterhood to share with collegiate members and new sisters.
The next Alpha Sigma Tau national convention is June 11-14, 2026 and will be hosted in Minneapolis, MN.

Winter Carnival 2024
Winter Carnival 2024
This Winter Carnival was challenging from start to finish - with extremely low snowfall and warm temperatures, there were concerns with getting enough snow to build! Check out the photo above - lots of grass visible in there… Despite the conditions, our resourceful sisters were able to pull it off and bring home another AST victory.
The chapter ranked 1st in the women’s monthlong division and 3rd in the overall monthlong competition.
Our sisters also took home 1st place in the special events category AND had a candidate for the Winter Carnival Royalty competition - sister Ava Farquhar!
