Convention 2010
Region 7s motto at Convention 2010 was "Region 7 Cowgirls Rock"! Region 7 alumnae and collegiate chapters won numerous national awards, and Portland Suburban alumnae chapter was a big part of that. In Division III, Portland Suburban won:
Outstanding Alumnae Chapter Award
When speaking about Division III’s winner (chapters with more than 106 dues-paying members), 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. They are indeed dream girls!"
Outstanding Alumnae Programming Award
Portland Suburban's year-long focus on “caring”--for friendships, community, fraternity history, children, and service for sight--resulted in high attendance at our 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."
Five Stars to Alumnae Success Award
This award is given to all alumnae chapters that develop programming focused on fun, friendship, sistershood, networking, and opportunities to "Do Good."
