Region 7s motto at Convention this year was "Region 7 Cowgirls Rock", and we certainly do.
Region 7 alumnae and collegiate chapters won numerous national awards however Portland Suburban were a big part of that, and I am so thrilled to report that we won:
In Division III, our chapter was
- Outstanding Alumnae Programming: This year’s winner in division III is Portland Suburban.
Division III includes Chapters with 103 or more local dues-paying members. This Chapter’s year-long focus on “caring” – for friendships, community, fraternity history, children, service and sight – resulted in high attendance at their meetings, a completely sold-out Founders Day and two to five new members attending each month.
Many chapters try to include "something for everyone" through their programming, but this year’s winner truly achieves this goal.
They do it through excellent leadership, communication and creativity, and using their local dg resources for speakers, presentations and fund raisers. The result is a personal, meaningful experience.
- Outstanding Alumnae Chapter Award: This year’s winner in division III is Portland Suburban.
When speaking about division III’s winner, the regional alumnae specialist said, "Every region has that ‘Dream Chapter’ that self motivates and governs, meets all regional expectations,
has excellent communication and whose members love the experience they have."
that is a most fitting description of our division III winner. They are indeed dream girls!
