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:
“In soliciting donations from his flock, a preacher may promise eternal life in a celestial city whose streets are paved with gold, and that’s none of the law’s business. But if he promises an annual free stay in a luxury hotel on Earth, he’d better have the rooms available.”
—Unknown. Charlotte Observer (October 6, 1989)
“Every one knows about the young man who falls in love with the chorus-girl because she can kick his hat off, and his sister’s friends can’t or won’t. But the youth who marries her, expecting that all her departures from convention will be as agile or as delightful to him as that, is still the classic example of folly.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“The ladies understood each other, in the careful way that ladies do once they understand each other. They were rather a pair than a couple, supporting each other from day to day, rather a set of utile, if ill-matched, bookends between which stood the opinion and idea in the metaphorical volumes that both connected them and kept them apart.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
