Convention Theme

Convention LogoThe 2008 Sigma Tau Delta convention invites you to celebrate contradiction in a city that is something of a paradox itself.

Louisville was founded by a rebel —an American revolutionary general— yet is named for a French aristocrat. The city and the adjacent Ohio River symbolized freedom for slaves escaping to the North but housed a booming slave trade in its day. Its Kentucky Derby spurs on gamblers from around the globe without Louisville forfeiting the charm and gentility of a Southern city. And this polished and urban locale still manages to conjure images of bluegrass music and rolling hills. Read full convention theme article by Convention Chair, Dr. Shannin Schroeder.
