From our collegiate days to the Diamond Circle, Theta Phi Alpha takes us on a journey of discovery. This summer Theta Phi Alpha takes you to St. Louis, Missouri to celebrate sisterhood at our 51st National Convention with accommodations at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. Convention is five days of fun, education, and strengthened friends. This will be an occasion where you can really learn from your sisters, share information with each other, and establish friendships that will take your Theta Phi Alpha experience far beyond what you may have encountered at the chapter level. We encourage you to get involved and make the most of it.

We can’t wait to see you there!

A great way to honor chapter sisters, friends, helpful alumnae, and national officers! White roses will be sold throughout the Convention for $5 each (6 for $25). Sisterhood Society – Collegian Giving Program The Sisterhood Society is a special program created expressly for collegiate women who support the Theta Phi Alpha Foundation. When you donate an individual gift of $19.12 or more, you become a contributor to the educational and philanthropic work of the Foundation. The Foundation will send you a dangle to wear with pride with your membership badge and you will be recognized in The Compass, Theta Phi Alpha’s magazine, as well as in the Theta Phi Alpha Foundation’s Annual Report. For each renewal in subsequent years, you will receive an additional dangle of a different design, to indicate your years of membership in the Sisterhood Society . Roll Call Part of the Founders’ Day Ceremony involves the Theta Phi Alpha Foundation Roll Call - this special roll call recognizes each sister by the year that she was initiated. Sisters are asked at this time to make a donation to the Theta Phi Alpha Foundation. At National Convention, we ask that you generously support the efforts of the Foundation and donate during the Fraternity Night Roll Call. During Fraternity Night, each chapter of Theta Phi Alpha is called up to present her gifts to the Foundation. We ask that each sister donate a minimum of one dollar for each year since her initiation into Theta Phi Alpha. Please note that checks written directly to the Foundation are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. All money collected through the fund raising efforts of the Theta Phi Alpha Foundation during Convention are used to support the Foundation’s mission of enriching Theta Phi Alpha sisters by providing resources for scholarship, philanthropy, and education through charitable giving. Proceeds from these efforts will provide scholarships to Theta Phi Alpha sisters, fund educational speakers and programs, leadership development, and help fulfill our commitment to our national philanthropies.

The Theta Phi Alpha Foundation accepts cash, checks, or credit cards for donations or payments.

CONVENTION SPEAKERS SPONSORED BY THE THETA PHI ALPHA FOUNDATION

Terry Grahl, 2016 Siena Medal Recipient Terry Grahl, the founder and CEO of Enchanted Makeovers, is the 2016 recipient of Theta Phi Alpha’s Siena Medal. Terry’s vision behind her all-volunteer non-profit organization began in 2007 with a mission to transform homeless shelters for women and children into places that inspire behavioral and psychological change. In addition, Terry’s mentoring programs such as the Sacred Sewing Room, Stepping into the Dream, and Capes for Kids develop important life and coping skills. The improvements resulting from Terry’s dedication to Enchanted Makeovers provide much more to the homeless community than the beautiful spaces she and her team leave behind. More importantly, her makeovers offer feelings of stability, community connection, self-worth and love through the hand-made materials, creativity and talent of the entire volunteer team.

Mari Ann Callais, Ph.D., Past National President, Theta Phi Alpha In this dynamic keynote, Dr. Mari Ann Callais will challenge women to stand up and be more respected by men, campus administrators, professors, their roommates, their friends, and themselves. By leaning in, women can take hold of their experiences and make a difference in the lives around them. Mari Ann holds an undergraduate degree in Political Science (Loyola University New Orleans), a Master’s degree in Education Administration (Our Lady of Holy Cross College), and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Research (Louisiana State University) where she wrote her dissertation on Sorority Rituals and Behavior. She has received numerous awards, including the Fraternity Communications Association’s Varner Award, the National Diversity Council’s 2011 Most Influential and Powerful Women in Louisiana award, and the highest award that Theta Phi Alpha bestows on a member, the Guard of Honor.

Eileen Cronin, Author, Mermaid – a Memoir of Resilience Through poetry and short story writing, Eileen found her voice. At twenty-six she published a cover story for the Sunday Outlook section of the Washington Post. The story was sold to papers around the country and Eileen was faced with what might have become instant celebrity as a “thalidomide baby.” She found that a patronizing role. Aside from that, she lacked proof of the involvement of thalidomide in her background. Her mother denied having taken such a pill. This was a critical point in Eileen’s life. As a young newlywed, she worried that her differences were caused by a mutation. Thus began a new chapter in her life as the researcher of her own medical history, which fostered her enthusiasm for a career as a clinical psychologist. Her debut memoir Mermaid, chronicles Cronin’s struggles through “the eyes of a mermaid.”

CONVENTION WHITE ROSE GARDEN

Let a sister know how much she means to you by honoring her as part of the Convention White Rose Garden. The Theta Phi Alpha Foundation offers white rose appliqués that sisters can proudly display on their convention name badges. Proceeds support the Theta Phi Alpha Foundation’s mission to enrich Theta Phi Alpha sisters by providing resources for scholarship, philanthropy, and education through charitable giving.

A great way to honor chapter sisters, friends, helpful alumnae, and national officers!

White roses will be sold throughout the Convention for $5 each (6 for $25).

Roses may be ordered in advance or by sisters not attending convention by completing the information below. Pre-convention orders must be received by the Foundation by June 30, 2016.
