rr rr rr 1r r 1r Westward Ho! "Go West, young woman," and join us at Kappa's 43rd ·Biennial Convention June 23-30, 1960, at the Hotel del Coronado, Coronado Beach, California. Where else can you get a package deal such as this? For enjoyment, there's California's famous sun, sand, and surf, and the exciting social events the convention committee is planning. For education and training in chapter techniques, there's the Leadership School which was so enthusiastically received at its inception at the 1958 Convention, and an excellent program of workshops which will be equally valuable to the alumnre. For inspiration, there's the unforgettable thrill of attending a Kappa Convention and meeting your sisters from all parts of the United States and Canada. Those who attend for the first time are always intrigued to discover the existence of a group called, "The Habiteers." To qualify for membership, one must have attended at least five conventions. As you might expect, the rapidly-expanding membership includes almost all of your Fraternity officers and chairmen; what might surprise you is that many lay-Kappas are also represented. There are numerous alumnre who have formed the "Convention Habit," and who join us because they have discovered how interesting, stimulating, and enjoyable these conferences are. As a matter of fact, many actives attend both the Conventions which occur while they are undergraduates, and thus are well on their way to acquiring that "Convention Habit." Perhaps we should form a Junior Auxiliary for them! Come and see for yourselves what these many Kappas have found to be true Convention is the greatest. Westward Ho! We'll see you next June.
