Conventions
Virtual Convention
The 2020 Convention was originally set to take place in Palm Springs, California. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, the organizers for the event had to pivot and plan Gamma Phi Beta’s first virtual Convention. It was held on June 27, 2020, and more than 960 sisters gathered online to conduct Sorority business and celebrate their sisterhood.
Some Convention traditions, like roll call, celebrations and the award ceremony, took place as usual, just online rather than in person. There were a couple of differences, of course. Rather than decorating hats in person, Gamma Phi Beta members dressed the Confirmed Conventioneer hats with GIFs. Groups of sisters also held watch parties throughout the U.S. and Canada.
New traditions might be added and some may fade as Gamma Phi Beta’s Conventions adapt to the times, but the importance of sisterhood and the strengthening of bonds remains of utmost importance throughout the years.
