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:
“No annual training or muster of soldiery, no celebration with its scarfs and banners, could import into the town a hundredth part of the annual splendor of our October. We have only to set the trees, or let them stand, and Nature will find the colored drapery,—flags of all her nations, some of whose private signals hardly the botanist can read,—while we walk under the triumphal arches of the elms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then imposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius—a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“If you don’t appear
at all one day they think you’re lazy
or dead.”
—Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
