Annual Convention (Founders' Day Celebration)
Every year, during the first weekend in December, sisters from across the globe reunite to celebrate and rejoice in the fruition of Sincerity, Loyalty and Unity. Sigma Lambda Upsilon honors its establishment through an amazing weekend filled with outstanding educational, professional and culturally enriching workshops and programming. This annual event enables Hermanas to enhance their development as students, campus leaders, professionals, mothers and local community members.
In addition to the professional development portion, Hermanas utilize this time to recognize the astonishing accomplishments of the Sorority and one another, as well as, their respective chapters. The National Board acknowledges their undying dedication and great strength in fulfilling the goals and ideals of the organization by awarding Hermanas with the National Cacique and Avance Awards.

Famous quotes containing the words annual, convention and/or day:
“Every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the publick interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it.... He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
“Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give.”
—United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989.
“I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust,... confess that I am astonished at the power of endurance, to say nothing of the moral insensibility, of my neighbors who confine themselves to shops and offices the whole day for weeks and months, aye, and years almost together. I know not what manner of stuff they are of,—sitting there now at three o’clock in the afternoon, as if it were three o’clock in the morning.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
