1992 GAMMA PHI BETA’S 65TH CONVENTION

This summer, sisters will travel to St. Louis, Missouri, to attend Convention 2022 in person, which is themed “As Long As We’re Together.” Rewind 30 years ago when sisters traveled to the same city for the Sorority’s 65th Convention! The Adams Mark Hotel hosted more than 700 Gamma Phis who attended Convention on July 21-25, 1992.

At the 65th Convention, delegates reviewed and approved a substantial revision in the officer structure of Greek-letter chapters. Based on the recommendations from a consultant on administrative structures, chapters were divided into seven departments, each chaired by an officer of the executive council. The officers of the executive council were the president, administrative vice president, financial vice president, member education vice president (today called education vice president), membership vice president, Panhellenic delegate (today called Panhellenic affairs vice president) and public relations vice president. As a result of these revisions, active participation by all members increased and more leadership opportunities were available to members.
